Montana becomes the first US state to pass legislation banning TikTok on personal devices.
TikTok has been accused of posing a national security risk through data gathered from users. The bill, known as SB 419, passed by a vote of 54 to 43.
The legislation makes it illegal for app stores to offer TikTok. It however excludes the present users of the app.
If signed into law by Governor Greg Gianforte, the ban could come into effect in January 2024.
Violations of the bill could carry a penalty of up to 10,000 US Dpollars, which would be enforced by Montana's Department of Justice. The penalties apply to companies, rather than individual users.
