Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor TikTok says Montana’s newly enacted law that would criminalize usage of the short-form video app is unconstitutional — and the app company has taken legal action to fight the state’s ban. TikTok filed a lawsuit Monday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana seeking to have the law reversed. It was signed into law last week by Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte, who said it would “protect Montanans’ private data and sensitive personal information from being harvested by the Chinese Communist Party.” TikTok is owned by ByteDance, a China-based internet conglomerate. “We are challenging Montana’s unconstitutional TikTok ban to protect our business and the hundreds of thousands of TikTok users in Montana,” the app maker said in a statement. “We believe our legal challenge will prevail based on an exceedingly strong set of precedents and facts.”

the lawsuit argues that Montana’s government is attempting to assert powers reserved for the federal government, and that the ban is a violation of the First Amendment of the U.S. constitution.“The Act attempts to exercise powers over national security that Montana does not have and to ban speech Montana may not suppress,” the suit says.“Montana can no more ban its residents from viewing or posting to TikTok than it could ban the Wall Street Journal because of who owns it or the ideas it publishes,” the suit also says.Filed by Samantha Alario, Heather DiRocco, Alice Held, Carly Ann Goddard and Dale Scout in the U.S.

TikTok could be potentially made unavailable to residents of Montana after Governor Greg Gianforte signed a bill on Wednesday, May 17, effectively banning the company from operating in the state, the New York Times reports.

Montana is now the first U.S. state to completely ban TikTok. Today, Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a measure prohibiting downloads in the state of the popular app.

As of today, TikTok is officially banned in Montana. State governor Greg Gianforte signed legislation preventing the Chinese-owned app from operating within the state, which in turn means mobile app stores such as Google Play and iTunes (in theory) won’t be allowed to offer TikTok to Montana residents.Gianforte claimed he’d signed the legislation “to protect Montanans’ personal and private data from the Chinese Communist Party.”To protect Montanans’ personal and private data from the Chinese Communist Party, I have banned TikTok in Montana.It becomes active on January 1, 2024, and Montana is threatening fines against TikTok and parent company ByteDance should the app attempt to violate or subvert the ban.
