The Montana House of Representatives voted 54-43 on final approval of a bill to ban TikTok across the state, The Wall Street Journal reports. The first-of-its-kind state ban on TikTok still requires the signature of Gov. Greg Gianforte, R-Mont., who previously banned the app from government-issued devices and state universities. If signed, the bill takes effect 1 Jan. 2024 and requires mobile app stores to make the video app unavailable to Montana users.
