A TikTok ban in Montana points to how a US ban would play out: messy and hard to enforce
Meanwhile, privacy advocates and others said Montana's law is hard to enforce — both politically and technologically. On top of that, privacy and tech experts say it's not likely to solve the actual concern with TikTok's data-gathering practices.While the ACLU and other civil rights groups are questioning the legality of Montana's TikTok ban, even if it did stand up to a court challenge, it's hard to actually enforce.
The companies arrange their app stores to comply with different regulations by country, not by state. Even if that could be changed, it would be necessary to track down a person's specific location using their device's IP address, but that's easily overcome with a virtual private network, or VPN, experts said.
