Montana on the Verge of Banning TikTok Completely.

Montana lawmakers are expected to vote on a bill that would ban TikTok from operating in the state, making it the first state to do so. The bill, which has backing from the state's GOP-controlled legislature, is more sweeping than bans in place in nearly half the states and the U.S. federal government that prohibit TikTok on government devices. TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese tech company ByteDance, has been under intense scrutiny over concerns it could hand over user data to the Chinese government or push pro-Beijing propaganda and misinformation on the forum.
