📵 Montana Legislature Bans TikTok Outright

The Montana House of Representatives made history on Friday, as they approved a total ban on the TikTok app within the state. This sets up the state’s Republican Governor, Greg Gianforte, to sign the first-of-its-kind law. 📜🖊️

The legislation, which will also prevent app stores from offering TikTok, the extremely popular viral video app, passed with 54 to 43 votes in the State House. The State Senate had approved it in March. 😮📲

Governor Greg Gianforte now has to decide whether to sign the bill into law, veto it, or do nothing for 10 days after receiving the bill and let it become law without his signature. His spokeswoman, Brooke Metrione, said he would “carefully consider any bill the Legislature sends to his desk.” 🤔✍️

But TikTok isn’t pleased with this development. The spokesperson for TikTok, Brooke Oberwetter, said that the supporters of the ban never had a feasible plan to execute it. 🚫📱

“We will continue fighting for the TikTok users and creators in Montana whose livelihoods and First Amendment rights are in danger because of this government overreach,” she said. 😡👊

Montana’s Republican-controlled Legislature has become an unexpected battleground in the growing tech fight between the U.S. and China. 🇺🇸🇨🇳 Officials in Washington have long said that they believe TikTok, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, could provide data to Beijing or be used to spread propaganda. The Biden administration has told TikTok that it wants the Chinese owners to sell their stakes in the app or face a possible national ban. 😳🔒

Concerns about the app arose as the U.S. government attempted to curb China’s telecommunication companies and chip makers, while supporting their competitors. In 2020, the government forced a Chinese company to sell the dating app Grindr. 💔📴

Under the Montana legislation, TikTok could face fines if it continued to operate in the state, and Apple and Google could be fined as well if they allowed users to download the app. The law would lift the ban, which would take effect in 2024, if TikTok is sold to a company that is not incorporated in an adversarial nation. 🚫💰

Supporters of the ban argue that Beijing could use the app to obtain data from users in Montana. They point to ByteDance’s admission that some of its employees inappropriately accessed data of journalists while investigating leaks about the company. 🕵️📊

Montana will be entering uncharted territory if it tries to ban the app. A trade group funded by Apple and Google has said that the companies cannot stop app downloads in a single state. Critics of the legislation argue that TikTok users could disguise their location to maintain access to the app, and that the ban may be difficult to enforce in border towns. 🏘️🌐

Lawmakers narrowly voted down a proposed amendment to the bill that would have broadened the ban to cover all online services that provided data to hostile powers. ❌📡

If the ban becomes law, there’s a chance it will be challenged in court. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other free speech groups have said the bill is unconstitutional and violates the First Amendment rights of Montanans who use the app. However, the state’s attorney general, who helped draft the bill, said he is prepared for a court battle. ⚖️🥊

So, Montana is causing a stir with this TikTok ban, and only time will tell if Governor Gianforte is going to sign the bill into law. The people, the companies, and the free speech groups are all keeping an eye out to see what happens next. ⌛👀

Stay tuned for more updates on this big TikTok ban drama. No one can predict what the future holds for Montana and the users of this popular app! 📰🌟
