Montana becomes first state to ban TikTok after governor signs bill into law

[BeatMan]

Montana officially became the first state to ban TikTok on Wednesday after Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a bill restricting downloads of the immensely popular social media app into law.

The legislation, which was passed last month, makes it illegal for app stores to give users the option to download TikTok and illegal for the company to operate within the state.


The law is likely to face challenges in court arguing it restricts free speech, but Gianforte praised its privacy protections.

“The Chinese Communist Party using TikTok to spy on Americans, violate their privacy, and collect their personal, private, and sensitive information is well-documented,” Gianforte said in a news release, calling the law "the most decisive action of any state."

We need to kick the Chinese the hell out of America altogether. Every one of their citizens going to school and doing business here are obliged to spy for the CCP.

An easy first step would be to ban Americans from holding investments and patents in China.
Clothing factories, voting machine patents, that sort of thing.

All I see is the bitch-like face in your supplied portrait.

A site of only very short videos, all vertical, depends on an audience of smartphone users. When smartphones fall out of fashion, they might sell the name to a watchmaker, or quietly disappear.

Dems want war with China, since they didn't get their jollies in Ukraine. And now they're pissed because someone else did something first.

When I had the unmitigated audacity to suggest that the US ruling class had military designs in Ukraine and China, I was effectively summarily dismissed from that thread. Now there’s this…

Wait — are we sure about that? I thought that they posted agents under our beds…

‘In a major new milestone in the bipartisan effort to censor the internet and undermine freedom of speech in America, the state of Montana signed into law a ban on the distribution of the TikTok social media app Wednesday.’

‘The law is completely antithetical to the First Amendment of the Constitution, which prohibits the “prior restraint” of speech. But while the bill is unconstitutional, it is enforceable due…’
