I was on Morning Ireland today, talking about some of the wider implications of the Meta €1.2bn fine and orders for data transfers, TikTok and EU data relations with Chinese and US companies, and the data supply chain for EU companies.
#TikTok has sued Montana over its law banning TikTok entirely, signed by the governor last week. Grounds include #FirstAmendment (unconstitutional prior restraint, which it definitely is), federal preemption, commerce clause, and bill of attainder.

TikTok content creators from Montana are suing the state over its first-of-a-kind legislation banning the video-sharing app, citing violations to the First Amendment.
I reckon #TikTok bans as well as videos of Shou Zi Chew looking like the only person with a brain in the room during the Congressional testimony will make TikTok cool. :)
