TikTok Ban Signed Into Law In U.S
Montana has signed into law the ban of TikTok from personal devices.
Signing the law, Montana Governor Greg Gianforte said the bans due to take effect on 1 January 2024.
According to BBC, Mr Gianforte told lawmakers that a wider ban would further "our shared priority to protect Montanans from Chinese Communist Party surveillance."
TikTok said in a statement that it was used by "hundreds of thousands of people" in Montana.
The video-sharing platform says the ban "infringes on the First Amendment rights of the people of Montana".
TikTok has come under scrutiny from authorities around the world over concerns that data could be passed to the Chinese government.
TikTok is expected to challenge the legislation in the courts.
Last month, lawmakers in Montana passed a bill banning TikTok on personal devices by a vote of 54 to 43.
The law will make it illegal for app stores to offer TikTok but does not ban people who already have TikTok from using it.
Montana, which has a population of just over 1 million, banned the app on government devices last December.
