Montana has become the first state in the U.S. to ban TikTok.

Governor Greg Gianforte signed legislation prohibiting mobile application stores from offering the app within the next year.

The short video platform is owned by Chinese tech company ‘ByteDance’. with growing fear that China could be using the app to obtain confidential information and breach personal security, concerns have been raised on the app’s presence in the United States.

The federal government and over half of the Nation’s states have already prohibited the app on government owned devices and the Biden administration has threatened a National ban unless its parent company sells its shares.

TikTok has denied the accusations that it has shared data with the Chinese government.
