UPDATE: May. 17,morgan copp sex video 2023, 2:56 p.m. PDT On Wednesday, Governor Greg Gianforte signed this bill, which is slated to go into effect on January 1, 2024. Lawyers from organizations like the ACLU of Montana have already announced their opposition, so lawsuits attempting to stop the bill from ever being enforced are widely expected to proceed. This piece was originally published April 14, 2023 when the ban had been passed by the state legislature, but not yet signed.
The Montana House of Representatives just passed a ban on TikTok, meaning the app will become illegal if Montana Governor Greg Gianforte signs the bill, which had already passed in the Montana State Senate. Past actions by Gianforte, such as his memo prohibiting use of the app on state equipment, suggest that the bill will in fact become state law.
This is not yet another ban preventing government workers from using TikTok. The bill has at least some teeth, to say the least. It at least forbids (though it appears not to penalize) the use of TikTok by individuals statewide, prohibits app stores from selling TikTok in Montana, and lays out penalties for app sellers.

The bill would keep TikTok out of Montana mainly by fining app stores $10,000 per violation per day if the app is ever downloaded in Montana. The bill forbids "the operation of tiktok by the companyor users," but also notes that its penalties, "do not apply to users of tiktok." So to be clear, the $10,000 fines only go to app stores, not TikTok users.
In either case, under this new law, it would have been legally impermissible for the person who captured the following footage of a mountain goat in Glacier National Park to download TikTok and post it for all to see:
In a statement provided to CNN, TikTok spokesperson Brooke Oberwetter claimed that those who have pushed this Montana bill "have no feasible plan for operationalizing this attempt to censor American voices," and added that "the bill’s constitutionality will be decided by the courts."
The ACLU of Montana already signaled its opposition to the bill in the day's before its passage, so TikTok may well be right that this will be decided in the courts.
As for TikTok's claim that Montana doesn't have a "feasible plan" for putting the bill into effect? That's plausible as well, given that it's not clear exactly how the law enforcement authorities of this sparsely populated state with just over 1 million inhabitants will go about finding perpetrators of this entirely new state cybercrime.
