Montana (TechtUSA) - The state of Montana has passed a bill that prohibits the use of TikTok, citing concerns that the Chinese government may request access to personal data of American users through the app. Montana is the first state to take such action against the popular video-sharing platform.

It will be illegal to download TikTok in Montana in 2024

Under the new bill, it would be illegal to download TikTok in Montana. The legislation imposes hefty fines of up to $10,000 per day on entities such as TikTok, as well as Apple and Google's app stores, that make the app available to users in the state.

The bill, SB 419, has been approved with a vote of 54 to 43. The bill highlights several concerns regarding TikTok, such as claims of surveillance by the Chinese government. It also highlights the promotion of dangerous activities among young TikTok users, including throwing objects at moving vehicles and attempting to put out a fire on a mirror with one's body parts.

TikTok is Chinese propaganda.
If you use TikTok, you're probably a dumbass.
TikTok SHOULD NOT be banned.

All 3 are true.
