The Montana state legislature voted to ban TikTok in the state. The bill would prevent a company from allowing people in Montana to download the app.
https://leg.mt.gov/bills/2023/billpdf/SB0419.pdf
The bill states that the reasoning is because 1) China is an adversary to the U.S. and 2) TikTok promotes harmful behavior and collects data on users.
It was sponsored by a Republican and mostly passed by Republicans. Most Democrats opposed it but were outvoted. It still needs to be signed by the governor, and it would be open to court challenges.

Many other states (first was Arkansas) are also requiring extensive KYC + parental permission for kids (<18) who want Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. YouTube, truth social, and any other app are exempt
