Montana moves closer to banning TikTok.

Montana's Senate Bill 419, which would ban TikTok in the state, has passed a key vote in the Montana House with bipartisan support and objection. The bill extends to personal devices and prevents the mobile app from being downloaded in the state. The Montana Department of Justice would fine app stores or TikTok $10,000 for each discrete violation and $10,000 for each day that a violation continues. Supporters said the ban is needed due to TikTok being owned by a Chinese company and collecting a large amount of data on users. TikTok has denied the claim.
