TikTok banned in Montana by governor.

Montana Governor Greg Gianforte has signed a bill banning TikTok in the state, making it the first state to do so. The law, which will take effect in January, specifically names TikTok as its target, prohibiting the app from operating within state lines. The bill marks the furthest step yet by a state government to restrict TikTok over perceived security concerns. TikTok has faced growing criticism for its ties to China, with many US officials expressing fears that the Chinese government could potentially access US data via TikTok for spying purposes.
