Montana lawmakers passed a bill to ban the popular short-form video app TikTok from operating in the state, the latest threat to the Chinese-owned app's existence in the US, Report informs, citing Reuters.
The bill, known as SB 419, would prohibit mobile app stores from offering TikTok for download to users in Montana. The Montana House voted 54-43 to approve the ban.
TikTok as well as Apple and Google, which operate mobile app stores, would face fines if they violate the ban, should the bill become law.
It is not clear how the state would enforce the ban.
