TikTok is Banned in these 5 States and Countries

4. Montana, USA

Status: Completely Banned

Since: April 2023

The legislature of Montana voted to enforce a complete ban on TikTok in the state this year. It became the first state in the US to announce a complete ban, while most others have only partially restricted the short-video app. Governor Gionforte, while signing the bill, said he wanted to protect the public from their information being compromised by the Chinese. An estimated 380,000 people in Montana used TikTok at the time of the decision to ban the app, which is more than a third of the state’s total population.
