Montana’s proposal is more sweeping than bans in place in nearly half the states and the U.S. federal government that prohibit TikTok on government devices.
HELENA, Mont. — Montana lawmakers moved one step closer Thursday to passing a bill to ban 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 that many national lawmakers have envisioned.
Supporters of a ban point to two Chinese laws that compel companies in the country to cooperate with the government on state intelligence work. They also point out other troubling episodes, such as a disclosure by ByteDance in December that it fired four employees who accessed the IP addresses and other data of two journalists while attempting to uncover the source of a leaked report about the company.
Montana’s ban would not take effect until January 2024 and would be void if Congress passes a ban or if TikTok were no longer tied to the Chinese government. Knudsen said Thursday the geofencing technology is used with online sports gambling apps, which he said are deactivated in states where online gambling is illegal. Ashley Sutton, TechNet’s executive director for Washington state and the northwest, said in a statement Thursday that the “responsibility should be on an app to determine where it can operate, not an app store.”
Democratic Rep. Katie Sullivan offered an amendment Thursday to broaden the ban to include any social media app that collected personal information and transferred it to a foreign adversary, such as Russia, Iran, Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela, along with China. The amendment was narrowly rejected 48-51.

Pending abortion ban can’t be prevented, Montana judge rulesA Montana judge says a bill to restrict abortions in Montana will become law — at least temporarily — if the governor signs it. The judge denied a request by Planned Parenthood of Montana to preemptively block the legislation, saying it has to be signed first. The legislation would ban an abortion method most commonly used in the second trimester of pregnancy. Lawmakers passed the bill to ban dilation and evacuation abortions last week. Planned Parenthood argues the ban is unconstitutional. It says it will move to block the bill again if Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte signs it.
