Montana becomes first state in U.S. to ban TikTok

Montana lawmakers on Friday passed a first-in-the-nation bill to ban TikTok across the state. 

The bill, which would go into effect on Jan. 1, 2024, prohibits the use of TikTok on all personal devices and bars app stores from offering TikTok for downloads. 

It would fine any entity violating the law $10,000 per violation, and awaits the signature of Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte. Members of Montana’s House voted 54-43 to give final approval to the bill, known as SB419.
