Federal judge seems to side with ACLU and Electronic Frontier Foundation that ban is unenforceable and unconstitutional
A federal judge appeared skeptical about Montana’s TikTok ban in a hearing on Thursday, telling representatives of the state that their argument for restrictions on the app “just confuses me”.
US district judge Donald Molloy heard arguments in a case filed by TikTok and five Montana content creators who want the court to block the state’s ban on the video-sharing app before it takes effect 1 January.
Molloy called the impending ban “paternalistic”, according to the Washington Post. After an hour, Molloy ended the hearing without ruling on the request for an injunction on the digital prohibition.
it seems to me is that the US os stuck. They have many laws that google, amazon, apple, and other big companies encourage to spy and steal people data. Now another company took a big chunk of the market and using the information against the US. Instead of enforcing new laws to portect the user, they want to keep the ability to spy and steel while banning others from doing so.
