TikTok is suing the state of Montana over its decision to ban the social media app on national security concerns from the start of 2022. Owned by China’s ByteDance, the app alleges the move is “unlawful” and “unconstitutional” and violates its first amendment rights to free speech and US regulations around interstate commerce. Montana would become the first US state to prohibit downloads of the app, unless the lawsuit challenging the ban prevails.
