TikTok Ban | After India, TikTok is completely banned in this US state, know the reason
FILE- PHOTO New Delhi/Nashik. Where on one hand, the short video hosting app Tiktok made in China has been going on in controversies for a long time. At the same time, due to security and privacy reasons in India, it was banned in June 2020 itself. Here, Tiktok ban had a big impact in India and due to this, many other countries of the world also became alert from Tiktok. Now recently a big step has been taken against Tiktok in the United States of America. In fact, Tiktok has been completely banned in the US state of Montana. With this, Montana has now become the first US state where Tiktok has been completely banned. In fact, now the law makers of Montana have decided to ban Tiktok in the state and have also passed an order to implement it. Montana Governor Greg Gianforte has signed new legislation that will effectively completely ban Chinese-owned app TikTok from operating within the state. The move aims to protect Montana residents from alleged intelligence gathering by China, making Montana the first state in the United States to impose such a ban on the popular short video platform. And under the new law, it will now be completely illegal for Google and Apple’s app stores to offer TikTok to users in Montana. However, individual users will not face any penalty for using the app. This ban is going to be effective from January 1, 2024. Actually, like India, Montana’s law makers believe that Tiktok is actually a tool of the Chinese Communist Party which is used for the theft of private information. China can also use this private information for wrongdoing. For this reason, Tiktok has been completely banned in Montana. Earlier, a decision has been taken to ban Tiktok from all government devices in America. At the same time, by banning Tiktok in many countries in this way, the tension of China may increase a little more. Due to this, the reputation of this Chinese app will be tarnished, as well as the revenue of Tiktok will also be badly affected.
