The states accuse TikTok of intentionally engaging in deceptive business practices.
RICHMOND: A group of 18 state attorneys general said on Monday they backed Montana’s effort to ban Chinese-owned short video app TikTok, urging a US judge to reject legal challenges ahead of the Jan 1 effective date.
TikTok, which is owned by China’s ByteDance, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday, and filed a suit in May seeking to block the first-of-its-kind US state ban on several grounds, arguing it violates the First Amendment free speech rights of the company and users.The states say TikTok, which is used by more than 150 million Americans, has faced growing calls from US lawmakers for a nationwide ban over concerns about possible Chinese government influence.
In March, lawmakers accused TikTok of serving harmful content and inflicting “emotional distress” on young users. Montana could impose fines of US$10,000 for each violation by TikTok. The law does not impose penalties on individual TikTok users.
