TikTok Files Lawsuit Over Montana App Ban

TikTok argues that Montana's ban violates users' First Amendment rights and the company's ability to operate.
Montana became the first state to ban TikTok over national security concerns related to the app's Chinese ownership.
The ban prohibits downloading TikTok and threatens fines up to $10,000 per day for violations starting in 2024.
While TikTok faces scrutiny over data privacy, the company says there is no evidence user info is shared with China.
The legal challenge could shape how states aim to regulate tech companies and address perceived threats to cybersecurity.
