Bill to Bar TikTok Advances
April 14, 2023 | Montana
A bill to bar TikTok in Montana cleared a key hurdle and is on track to reach Gov. Greg Gianforte after a final vote Friday in a test case for efforts to outlaw the app nationwide.
The bill cleared the Senate 60 votes to 39 Thursday and is set for a roll call in the state House.
Policymakers in both parties have targeted TikTok over national security and privacy concerns related to its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. (Excerpt from The Washington Times.)
