— Montana lawmakers moved one step closer Thursday to passing a bill to ban TikTok from operating in the state, a move that's bound to face legal challenges but also serve as a testing ground for the TikTok-free America thatMontana's proposal, which has backing from the state's GOP-controlled legislature, is more sweeping than bans in place in nearly half the statesThe Montana House endorsed the bill 60-39 on Thursday.
"I think Montana's got an opportunity here to be a leader," Knudsen, a Republican, told a House committee in March. He says the app is a tool used by the Chinese government to spy on Montanans. At a hearing about the bill in March, a representative from the tech trade group TechNet said app stores also"do not have the ability to geofence" apps on a state-by-state basis and that it would be impossible for its members, like Apple and Google, to prevent TikTok from being downloaded in Montana.
Some opponents of the bill have argued the state wasn't looking to ban other social media apps that collect similar types of data from their users.

Montana’s proposal is more sweeping than bans in place in nearly half the states and the U.S. federal government that prohibit TikTok on government devices. The House was scheduled to hold a second hearing vote on the legislation on Thursday. If it’s approved, a final House vote would likely take place Friday, after which the bill would be forwarded to Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte.
