Montana isn’t waiting for the Biden administration to fix a possible weak link in our national security. On Friday, the state became the first one in the U.S. to completely ban the use of Chinese government-connected social media platform TikTok.
Via the Associated Press:
Montana lawmakers gave final passage Friday to a bill banning the social media app TikTok from operating in the state, a move that’s bound to face legal challenges but also serve as a testing ground for the TikTok-free America many national lawmakers have envisioned.
The measure now goes to Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte for his consideration.
The state House voted 54-43 to pass the bill, which goes further than prohibitions in place in nearly half the states and the US federal government that prohibit TikTok on government devices. Montana already bans the app on state-owned devices.
State representatives and national political figures across the country have urged action to ban the app entirely in the country in the name of national security interests, including an FCC commissioner in December 2022.
