TikTok is going to disagreement the law in federal court. The prohibition is unlawful, according to it and organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union.

The measure, known as SB419, was approved by the Montana House of Representatives last month by a vote of 54 to 43, bringing it to Gianforte’s desk. In a statement to CNN, TikTok promised to fight for the protection of users’ rights in Montana.

The statement of Montana faces different challenges. US magisterate of North California halted the decision of banned WeChat. He said that this ban is unconstitutional so it is not fair at all.
