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.

Gianforte cited national security concerns in his decision to sign the bill, which will likely face legal challenges that delay it passing into law. “To protect Montanans’ personal and private data from the Chinese Communist party, I have banned TikTok in Montana,” Gianforte, a Republican, tweeted on Wednesday shortly after signing the bill.

TikTok is just one app tied to foreign adversaries. Today I directed the state’s Chief Information Officer to ban any application that provides personal information or data to foreign adversaries from the state network.
