According to Molloy, “the current record leaves little doubt that Montana’s legislature and attorney general were more interested in targeting China’s ostensible role in TikTok than with protecting Montana consumers.”.

TikTok also reportedly illustrated how the law violates the First Amendment.

In shutting off TikTok, the Legislature has both harmed User Plaintiffs’ First Amendment rights and cut off a stream of income on which many rely.

Thus, Plaintiffs have established a likelihood of irreparable harm, U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy, via order.

Emilee Cantrell, a deputy communications director at Montana’s attorney general’s office, referred to the order as a "preliminary decision.".

The judge indicated several times that the analysis could change as the case proceeds and the state has the opportunity to present a full factual record.

We look forward to presenting the complete legal argument to defend the law that protects Montanans from the Chinese Communist Party obtaining and using their data, Emilee Cantrell, a deputy communications director at Montana’s attorney general’s office, via CNN.

The law was on track "to be the first of its kind" in the country, CNN reports.

Under the legislation, TikTok would not be allowed to operate within state lines.

Fines of $10,000 a day could potentially be issued
