He welcomed the ACLU&#8217;s attempts to challenge the ban in court, confident that his administration has already considered all possible outcomes and will emerge victorious.<\/p>\n<h3>Broader Ban Needed<\/h3>\n<p>While Gianforte is pleased with the ban, he wishes it was broader, including other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/montana-governor-gianforte-on-banning-tiktok-theyre-spying-on-americans-enough-is-enough\/\" title=\"Montana Governor Gianforte wants to ban TikTok due to spying on Americans.\">social media apps owned<\/a> by foreign adversaries, such as Russian and other Chinese apps. However, he believes that the ban is a good step in the right direction and hopes that other states will follow Montana&#8217;s lead.<\/p>\n<h3>National Security Issue<\/h3>\n<p>Gianforte emphasized that the issue with TikTok and other apps owned by foreign adversaries is not what the app does, but where the personal data goes. He believes that this is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/not-making-headlines-more-information-on-chinas-involvement-in-the-2020-election-steal\/\" title=\"NOT MAKING HEADLINES: More Information on China\u2019s Involvement In the 2020 Election Steal\">national security issue<\/a> and a violation of the Montana privacy clause in their Constitution.
