After initially eluding approval, TikTok finally admitted that it paid the legal fees for the lawsuit. But the company said it did not provide any other compensation. The outcome of the lawsuit will have implications for the future of TikTok in Montana, where the ban will take effect on January 1, 2024.
In 2020, the company secretly supported TikTok users who filed a lawsuit against a federal ban imposed by former US President Donald Trump.
Now TikTok is shifting its focus away from its ties to China, using its users once again to fight Montana’s ban. Legal experts believe the new case has a good chance of success.
