This article is very light on details. How does the bill distinguish TikTok from other apps? On what grounds is it being banned? Is the web site being banned too?
- erehweb 4y agoHere's the bill. https://leg.mt.gov/bills/2023/billpdf/SB0419.pdf https://leg.mt.gov/bills/2023/billpdf/SB0419.pdf It just singles out TikTok and cites China as a concern.
- schemescape 4y agoWow, only 3 pages! It looks like they originally planned to ban the web site, but that got struck from the bill. It’s interesting that TikTok is identified by name (with inconsistent capitalization). What happens if they change the name or relaunch as a slightly different app or whatever? Oh well, I’m curious to see how this plays out.
- erehweb 4y agoBill says TikTok means the social network service owned by Bytedance or any successors
- schemescape 4y agoThanks, I only skimmed it and must have skipped that part.
