@krassenstein It's MAJOR overreach and the ban will be found unconstitutional and never see the light of day. This Governor is punishing thousands of people who rely on income to survive. He's willfully ignoring the harm that will come and I guarantee this move will cost his seat…

Also worth noting Re: Montana TikTok ban: —Ban would start on January 1. “Any legal challenge, though, could trigger an injunction to delay the ban's start date.” —"Montana faces potential challenges to the ban based on concerns over free speech" https://www.wsj.com/...

This law tramples on our free speech rights under the guise of national security and lays the groundwork for excessive government control over the internet. Elected officials do not have the right to selectively censor entire social media apps based on their country of origin.

This ban won't protect Montana residents' private data. Companies will continue to harvest and monetize personal info and make it widely available to purchasers, thieves, and foreign actors. Instead of banning the app, pass data privacy laws. https://www.eff.org/...

1) Banning TikTok is useless. VPNs exist. 2) Banning websites in general is a fucking terrible idea/precedent to set. 3) This is a test run for the federal bill (RESTRICT act) which am absolutely ABHORRENT violation of privacy and civil rights. https://twitter.com/...

For app stores to geofence downloads to only “not-Montana” Is going to require they collect more fine-grained location than they currently do (via geoIP, registered address). That will be a honeypot of precise location data for malicious or government use https://twitter.com/...
