(Reuters) – Montana Governor Greg Gianforte is asking legislators to make changes to a bill that would be the first in the United States to ban TikTok outright, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
The changes would broaden the ban from applying specifically to TikTok, owned by China-based ByteDance Ltd, and cover social-media applications that provide certain data to foreign adversaries, the report said, citing a draft of the amended bill language.
