Montana became the first state to pass a bill to ban TikTok in the state. It still needs the Governor’s approval and would go into effect Jan 2024. This could open the way for other states to start banning the app. news.yahoo.com/montana-just-voted-pass-statewide-203255135.htmlMy question is how do you ban an app in just one state? What do you do about all the people that already have it downloaded? How do you prove the phone that has the app resides in Montana? And what about visitors who have TikTok? |

That's a great question. I wouldn't know how you ban in only one state, probably the same way you'd ban in a country just on a smaller scale. I love TT and would be very sad if it were banned however I'm sure my productivity would vastly improve  I will say though, I don't see the "dark side" of TT. The dangerous challenges, etc. I see puppies, cooking, reminiscing 80's content (like the old Solid Gold, such a hoot to watch it now). |

From what I understand, apple has confirmed you CAN'T. The app store doesn't see "state boundaries". And I believe TT has said they are ready to take this to court if it passes. I think if you already have it downloaded, in theory you couldn't get the app to update, BUT like I also said, the app store wouldnt be able to realize "oh we are in Montana, no TT here" so this would be impossible to monitor. |

They can't ban it realistically.
I'd lose half my recipe sources, gardening and chicken advice and funny Gen X videos if I lost TikTok.
Meta really milked their moneys worth out of bad mouthing TikTok to politicians and the media. Meanwhile how many times has Mark Zuckerberg actually let our info be mined, said whoopsie and then paid fines without fixing the apps? Let me look it up.

The dark side is how the app could basically use your phone to track everything you do and everywhere you go. Did you happen to read the post a few days ago about the TOS for the Temu app? 😳😳😬 Holy crap, it’s so intrusive! And that’s just the stuff they tell you about. |

I don't really agree with this. I don't use TikTok so it wouldn't effect me one way or another.
Our state government has banned it from being used on state equipment/devices.
I do not have an issue with a state or federal government doing that because that is their "business practice", but to ban it from everyone in the entire state? I don't really know how they can do that and like you say...what about the ones that already have it downloaded or say they live on the border next to another state, how does that work?

I haven’t downloaded the TT app because I don’t need another time sucker, but I am tempted! I actually do unofficially follow two accounts on my laptop, without having my own account. A lot of good stuff pops up on my IG account. |

Wouldn't this be a first amendment violation for private citizens on privately owned devices?

This is so stupid. I don't get banning it. If you don't like it, don't use it.
Good grief.
I'm not a big tik tok user. I mostly follow people who post cooking or healthy eating videos. I don't on much because I can't stand the random videos that show up in my feed that prove to me once and for all that there are some real wackadoodles walking around amongst us. Like the people who truly believe that Joe Biden has been dead for years and Trump is still president. Or the guy who argues that more people die in the US from hammers than guns. So many whack jobs that it is frightening, and I'm not always in the frame of mind to have that in my face. LOL

Oh dear geez. TN will probably try to do this too.
I've heard it can't be done on a state level though. I love tik tok

this is just so stupid. how do you ban tik tok and not sites that host actually damaging, truly subversive stuff like 4chan and other ones? the internet is full of awful things, and tik tok isn't even scratching the surface, but THAT's what you're going for? what about facebook reelz then, and whatever else pops up to take it's place? snapchat? it's just so dumb.

You need to watch more videos and follow more sane TikTokkers so you will get the better side of TikTok. |

Another way of controlling people. Our rights (human and constitutional) stripped away little by little, piece by piece. Then what do you know, we’ll have no rights. Then it’ll too late .
Take away the tiniest things, we the people won’t notice, by the time we do, they’ve got the whole ‘cookie’.

It's a start... maybe other states will join. Wait, so you want to see TikTok banned? And if I'm interpreting that correctly, why? I was late to the TikTok party, but I really enjoy it now. I just made a TikTok recipe last night. Mine's mostly a little happy place much like my Instagram and my Facebook... because that's what I follow. I find TikTok very entertaining. |

The article said the sponsors understand this isn't really enforceable. The ban may be unenforceable, but I'm sure once the kids realize that there are things on Tiktok that the adults don't want them viewing, the kids will realize it's for their own good and will stay off Tiktok. |

Wait, so you want to see TikTok banned? What it sounds like you guys may not be aware of is that they aren't talking about the content being the reason for the ban, they are talking about the Chinese spyware component to it. It's the same reasons so many government institutions are banning it on their devices. And it's why I made my family remove the app from theirs. They can still look at TikTok videos (which we can debate that worthiness if we want, but isn't at issue here) - but the app has too many problems. |
