This won’t pass. How are you going to enforce this? Are you going to fine Montana residents 10K per TikTok post…?

Republicans keep pushing the most un-american stuff on this country. What happened to “freedom”?

  > This won’t pass.

do you mean to say it wont get signed into law or that it will be struck down by the courts?

Yes

Yea, Republicans keep banning books, women's right and now bans Tiktok. I don't understand why people even vote them with all those MAGA stupidity and attacks on freedom. Even rt.com is accessible at the moment.

The bill answers your question if you read it. The fine is on an entity providing TikTok. So that would be Apple, Google, ByteDance. It explicitly states no individuals will be fined.

What if an individual hosts the apk on a public facing site hosted within Montana?
