Montana passes a bill to ban TikTok within state. Under this bill ByteDance is prohibited from doing business in Montana. Anyone violating this ban will be fined $10,000 per violation per day. Fine, however, is to be paid by ByteDance itself.

Bill also requires mobile platforms App Store and Google Play to limit access to TikTok within state. This might become a precedent in US and will require Apple and Google to provide app availability on per-state basis.

Reference: First US state officially bans TikTok, $10,000 fine per violation
