<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW YORK: Montana<\/a> Gov. Greg Gianforte on Wednesday signed into law a first-of-its kind bill that makes it illegal for TikTok<\/a> to operate in the state, setting up a potential legal fight with the company amid a litany of questions over whether the state can even enforce the law.

The new rules in Montana will have more far-reaching effects than TikTok bans already in place on government-issued devices in nearly half the states and the U.S. federal government. There are 200,000 TikTok users in Montana as well as 6,000 businesses that use the video-sharing platform, according to company spokesperson Jamal Brown.

Here's what you need to know:

WHY IS MONTANA BANNING TIKTOK?
<\/strong>
Proponents of the law in Montana claim the Chinese government could harvest U.S. user data from TikTok and use the platform to push pro-Beijing misinformation or messages to the public.

That mirrors arguments made by a bipartisan group of lawmakers in the U.S. Senate, as well as the heads of the
FBI<\/a> and the CIA<\/a>, all of whom have said TikTok could pose a national security threat because its Beijing-based parent company ByteDance<\/a> operates under Chinese law.

Critics have pointed to China's 2017 national intelligence law that compels companies to cooperate with the country's governments for state intelligence work. Another Chinese law, implemented in 2014, has similar mandates.

TikTok says it has never been asked to hand over its data, and it wouldn't do so if asked.

HOW DOES MONTANA PLAN TO BAN TIKTOK?
<\/strong>
The law will prohibit downloads of TikTok in the state and fine any \"entity\" - an app store or TikTok - $10,000 per day for each time someone accesses TikTok, \"is offered the ability\" to access it, or downloads it.

That means Apple and Google, which operate app stores on Apple and Android devices, would be liable for any violations. Penalties would not apply to users.

The statewide ban won't take effect until January 2024. It would be void if the social media platform is sold to a company that is not based in \"any country designated as a foreign adversary\" by the federal government.

The governor indicated he wants to
expand<\/a> the bill to other social media apps<\/a> in order to address some of the bill's \"technical and legal concerns.\" But the legislature adjourned before sending him the bill, which meant he couldn't offer his amendments.

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen has pointed to technology used to restrict online sports gambling apps as a way to curtail TikTok from operating in the state. Those violations can be reported by anyone. And once the state verifies a breach has taken place, it sends a cease-and-desist letter to the company involved, said Kyler Nerison, a spokesperson for Knudsen's office. He said different companies use different methods for compliance and it's up to them \"to not allow their apps to work in Montana and other states where they are not legal.\"

SO, COULD THE TIKTOK BAN WORK?
<\/strong>
Cybersecurity<\/a> experts say that, other than avoiding the fine, there's nothing incentivizing the companies involved to comply and it will be extremely difficult - if not impossible - to adequately enforce the law.

For one, the U.S. doesn't have anything equivalent to the type of control
countries like China have<\/a> on what their citizens access on the web. Compounding that, internet service providers are out of the picture.

Before the Montana law passed, lawmakers rewrote portions of the bill to let them off the hook after a lobbyist for
AT&T<\/a> said during a February hearing the legislation was \"not workable\" to put into effect.

COULD TECH COMPANIES BLOCK IT?
<\/strong>
Apple and Google have not spoken out against the law. But a representative for TechNet, the trade group that counts the two tech giants as its members, has said app stores don't have the ability to \"geofence\" apps in different states and it would be impossible to prevent TikTok from being downloaded in Montana. The group has also said the responsibility should be on an app to determine where it can operate, not an app store.

Telecoms analyst Roger Entner, of Recon Analytics, says he believes the app stores could have the capability to enforce the law, but it would be cumbersome to implement and full of loopholes. Apple and Google's address-linked billing could be bypassed with prepaid cards and IP geolocation easily masked by using a VPN service, which can alter IP addresses and allows users to evade content restrictions, said mobile security expert Will Strafach, the founder of Guardian, which makes a privacy protection app for Apple devices.

Oded Vanunu, head of products vulnerability research at the cybersecurity firm Check Point, agreed it would be difficult for app stores to isolate a single state from downloading an app. He suggested it would be more feasible for TikTok to comply since it controls the software and can \"adjust the settings based on the geographical location or IP addresses\" of users.

COULD TIKTOK BLOCK ITSELF?
<\/strong>
When users allow TikTok to collect their location information, it can track a person to at least 3 square kilometers (1.16 square miles) from their actual location. If that feature is disabled, TikTok can still collect approximate location information - such as the region, city or zip code in which a user may be located - based on device or network information, like an IP address.

But similar to the app stores, cybersecurity experts note that any enforcement measures the company implements could be easily bypassed with a VPN and efforts to use IP geolocating might lead to other issues.

David Choffnes, the executive director of the Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute at Northeastern University, said cell providers may use the same types of IP addresses for multiple states, which could mean someone who is not in Montana could incorrectly be blocked from using TikTok.

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT?
<\/strong>
Likely a legal battle.

Knudsen, Montana's attorney general, has already said he expects the law will end up in court.

TikTok spokesperson Brooke Oberwetter said in a prepared statement Wednesday that the law infringes on Montanan's free speech rights and is unlawful.

\"We want to reassure Montanans that they can continue using TikTok to express themselves, earn a living, and find community as we continue working to defend the rights of our users inside and outside of Montana,\" Oberwetter said.

Oberwetter declined to say if the company will file a lawsuit but described some of the legal issues at play. She argued Montana is attempting to override U.S. foreign policy by claiming the bill addresses a national security risk. She said foreign policy and national security laws are not made at the state level.

NetChoice, a trade group that represents TikTok and other tech companies, says the bill would violate the First Amendment and \"bill of attainder\" laws that prohibit the government from imposing a punishment on a specific entity without a formal trial.

蒙大拿州州长TikTok禁令。但是,国家执法吗?

蒙大拿的新规则将有更深远的影响比TikTok禁令已经在地方政府提供的设备在近一半的州和美国联邦政府。TikTok有200000用户在蒙大拿州以及6000的企业使用视频分享平台,根据公司发言人布朗贾马尔。

纽约:蒙大拿州长格雷格Gianforte周三(法案签署成为法律,是违法的TikTok操作状态,设置一个潜在法律与公司在一连串的质疑,国家甚至可以执行法律。

蒙大拿的新规则将有更深远的影响比TikTok禁令已经在地方政府提供的设备在近一半的州和美国联邦政府。TikTok有200000用户在蒙大拿州以及6000的企业使用视频分享平台,根据公司发言人布朗贾马尔。

这就是你需要知道的:

为什么蒙大拿禁止TIKTOK ?

法律在蒙大拿的支持者声称,中国政府可以从TikTok收获美国用户数据和使用平台推动亲北京的错误信息或信息给公众。

镜子的参数由美国参议院两党的国会议员,以及的头美国联邦调查局美国中央情报局,所有人都说TikTok可以构成国家安全的威胁,因为北京的母公司ByteDance按照中国的法律运营。

批评人士指出,中国2017年的国家情报法律迫使公司与中国政府合作国家情报工作。另一个中国法律,2014年实施,也有类似的规定。

TikTok说,它从未被要求交出其数据,它不会这样做,如果问。

蒙大拿计划禁止TIKTOK如何?

TikTok在国家的法律将禁止下载和细任何“实体”——应用程序商店或TikTok - 10000美元每天每次有人访问TikTok,“提供能力”来访问它,或下载它。

这意味着苹果和谷歌,苹果和Android设备上的应用程序商店,将负责任何违反。处罚不会适用于用户。

全州禁令不会生效,直到2024年1月。将无效如果社交媒体平台出售给一家公司,不是建立在“任何国家指定为外国对手”由联邦政府。

州长表示,他想扩大该法案对其他社交媒体的应用为了解决该法案的一些“技术和法律问题。”But the legislature adjourned before sending him the bill, which meant he couldn't offer his amendments.

蒙大纳州总检察长奥斯汀克努曾指出技术用来限制在线体育赌博应用来减少TikTok操作的状态。这些侵犯任何人都可以报道的。一旦验证违反发生,它将勒令停止信发送给相关公司,说凯尔Nerison,克努森的发言人办公室。他说不同的公司使用不同的方法合规和由他们“不允许他们的应用程序工作在蒙大拿和其他州他们不是合法的。”

所以,TIKTOK禁令能奏效吗?

网络安全专家说,除了避免罚款,没有什么激励公司遵守,这将是极其困难的——如果不是不可能充分地执行法律。

首先,美国没有任何相当于控制的类型像中国这样的国家有在网络上对其公民访问。加剧,互联网服务提供商是不相干的。

在蒙大拿法律通过之前,议员们改写的部分账单让他们摆脱困境的说客美国电话电报公司(AT&T)在今年2月份的一次听证会上说该法案是“不可行”生效。

科技公司阻止它吗?

苹果和谷歌没有公开表示反对。但技术的代表,贸易集团,这两个科技巨头的成员,表示应用程序商店没有能力“geofence”应用程序在不同的州,是不可能防止TikTok下载在蒙大拿。该组织还说,责任应该在一个应用程序来确定它可以操作,而不是一个应用程序商店。

电信分析师Roger Entner侦察分析说,他认为应用程序商店可能有能力执行法律,但它将繁琐的实现和充满了漏洞。苹果和谷歌的address-linked帐单可以绕过预付费卡和IP地理位置很容易通过使用VPN服务蒙面,可以改变IP地址,并允许用户逃避内容限制,移动安全专家将Strafach说,《卫报》的创始人,这使得苹果设备的隐私保护程序。

产品负责人欧迪瓦努努脆弱性研究网络安全公司检查,很难应用商店同意隔离一个州从下载一个应用程序。他建议,那将是更加可行TikTok遵守,因为它控制软件,可以调整设置基于地理位置或IP地址”的用户。

TIKTOK块本身吗?

当用户允许TikTok收集他们的位置信息,它可以跟踪一个人至少3平方公里(1.16平方英里)从他们的实际位置。如果禁用该特性,TikTok仍然可以收集近似位置信息——例如,城市或邮政编码,用户可能位于——基于设备或网络信息,像一个IP地址。

但类似的应用程序商店,网络安全专家指出,任何强制措施公司实现很容易绕过使用IP VPN和努力确定可能导致其他问题拍摄地。

执行董事戴维•Choffnes东北大学网络安全和隐私研究所说细胞提供者可能使用同一类型的多个州的IP地址,这可能意味着不是在蒙大拿的人可以从使用TikTok错误被阻塞。

接下来会发生什么?

可能一场法律战。

克努森,蒙大拿州的总检察长已经表示,他预计该法律将最终在法庭上。

TikTok的发言人布鲁克Oberwetter周三在一份事先准备好的声明中说,在蒙大纳州的法律侵犯了言论自由的权利,是非法的。

“我们想让蒙大拿人相信,他们可以继续使用TikTok来表达自己,谋生,并找到社区我们继续努力保卫我们的用户的权利内外蒙大纳州法,“Oberwetter说。

Oberwetter拒绝透露如果公司将提起诉讼,但描述的一些法律问题。她认为蒙大拿试图覆盖美国外交政策宣称账单地址国家安全风险。她说,外交政策和国家安全法律是在州一级。

贸易集团代表NetChoice TikTok和其他科技公司,说该法案违反宪法第一修正案和“剥夺公权法案”的法律禁止政府征收惩罚在特定实体没有一个正式的审判。
