The Montana House of Representatives Friday passed a bill that would ban the use of social media app TikTok within the state in a 54-43 vote. The bill will now be submitted to Montana Governor Greg Gianforte, who must sign the bill for it to become law.

The move comes amid increasing scrutiny of the app’s use of user information. The bill claims that the Chinese government “exercises control and oversight” over the Chinese corporation that owns TikTok, ByteDance. As a result, the legislature alleges that the Chinese government has the ability to direct ByteDance to turn over user information, including real-time physical location.

This, the legislators argue, violates Montana’s right to privacy. The bill’s preamble asserts China “has an interest in gathering information about Montanans, Montana companies, and the intellectual property of users to engage in corporate and international espionage.”

The bill also argues that TikTok promotes and encourages minors to engage in dangerous activities, such as “taking excessive amounts of medication, lighting a mirror on fire and then attempting to extinguish it using only one’s body parts, inducing unconsciousness through oxygen deprivation, [and] cooking chicken in NyQuil.”

The proposed ban targets companies that facilitate the use of Tiktok within the state. For example, if a company allows users to access TikTok in Montana, or a company permits Montanans to download TikTok on an app store, the company is then subject to a $10,000 fine. The fine does not apply to individual TikTok users.

Montana is the first US state to ban TikTok but not the first government to do so. Afghanistan, India, and Taiwan have a complete ban on the app. Whereas, Australia, Canada, Denmark, the EU, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Norway only prohibit the app on government-issued devices. The US federal government has even threatened to ban the app unless ByteDance sells its ownership in the company.
