Five TikTok users in the US have filed a lawsuit against the state of Montana, claiming that the ban on the app is unconstitutional and suppresses free speech. Montana’s governor recently passed a law prohibiting people from downloading TikTok onto their personal phones, claiming that it was necessary to protect citizens’ personal data from Chinese data collection efforts. The lawsuit is significant for the wider debate about the app’s right to operate in the US, given that it marks the first time a Western territory has banned TikTok for personal use.
