"A TikTok ban in Montana is likely unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled on Thursday.

Judge Donald Molloy, with the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana, issued a temporary halt to enforcing the ban. It was scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2024, and would have meant $10,000 penalties per day for app stores or TikTok "each time that a user accesses TikTok, is offered the ability to access TikTok, or is offered the ability to download TikTok."

The ruling "is a welcome victory in the face of a relentless and illiberal campaign against the First Amendment and the Internet," said Ari Cohn, free speech counsel with TechFreedom. "Wholesale bans on speech-enabling platforms are an affront to the First Amendment, and it is deeply troubling that so many have cheered them on based on panic, fear, or a general disdain for the platform.""
