Montana becomes 1st state to approve a full ban of TikTok
Montana's bill goes farther than bans in nearly half of the states that target devices on state-issued devices. Instead, Montana's legislation makes it illegal for anyone to download TikTok.
Montana has become the first state to approve a bill that would ban TikTok over the possibility that the Chinese government could request Americans' data from the wildly popular video-streaming app.
The GOP-controlled Montana House of Representatives sent the bill on Friday to Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte, who can now sign the measure into law.
The bill makes it illegal toApple and Google's app stores or TikTok itself, that makes the popular video-streaming app available.
