The
governor of Montana, Greg Gianforte, signed a bill on Wednesday to ban TikTok
from operating inside the state, the most extreme prohibition of the app in the
nation and one that will almost certainly be challenged in court. The ban will
take effect on Jan. 1.
“Today, Montana takes the most decisive action of any state
to protect Montanans’ private data and sensitive personal information from
being harvested by the Chinese Communist Party,” Mr. Gianforte, a Republican,
said in a news release.
To protect Montanans’ personal and private data from
the Chinese Communist Party, I have banned TikTok in Montana.
