NEW YORK — TikTok sued Montana in federal court on Monday over a ban of the app enacted by the state last week.

"We are challenging Montana's unconstitutional TikTok ban to protect our business and the hundreds of thousands of TikTok users in Montana," the company said in a statement."We believe our legal challenge will prevail based on an exceedingly strong set of precedents and facts."

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court, alleges that the ban violates the First Amendment, arguing that the measure shuts down a"forum for speech for all speakers on the app," singling out TikTok users for"disfavored treatment." The Montana ban, the first measure of its kind in the U.S., does not prevent current users from accessing the app or penalize them for doing so.
