WASHINGTON :TikTok Inc on Monday filed a lawsuit challenging the state of Montana's new ban on use of the Chinese-owned short-video app.
Montana is the first U.S. state to attempt to ban TikTok. Former President Donald Trump in 2020 sought to bar new downloads of TikTok and Chinese-owned WeChat and other transactions, which the companies said would have effectively barred use of the apps, but a series of court decisions blocked the bans from taking effect.
Last week, five TikTok users in Montana who create content posted on the short-video app filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to block the state's ban.
