Montana's TikTok Ban: Free Speech Violation or National Security Measure?
- Montana has become the first state to enact a ban on TikTok, citing concerns over data privacy and national security.
- The ban is set to take effect in January 2024 and is already facing legal challenges arguing it violates users' First Amendment rights.
- TikTok and tech experts argue the ban will be difficult to enforce and easy to circumvent but supporters claim it protects citizens from Chinese government overreach.
- Montana TikTok creators argue the ban threatens their livelihood and ability to connect with audiences, filing a lawsuit to challenge the law.
- The outcome of legal battles over Montana's TikTok ban could determine how other states and the federal government regulate the app.
