Montana's TikTok Ban Is a Dangerous Tipping Point

Montana lawmakers voted 54-43 to ban TikTok from operating in the state and forbid app stores from offering it for download. The legislation is likely to become law, which would make Montana the first state in the US to ban the popular social media platform. People who already have TikTok on their devices would not be in violation of the law. It has implications for Montana residents' speech and ability to hear speech, rights protected under the First Amendment.
