TikTok CEO Chew: Montana’s ban on the app ‘unconstitutional’ – Reuters

DOHA, May 23 (Reuters) - TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew said on Tuesday the U.S. state of Montana's ban of the app was unconstitutional and that he was confident his company will prevail in a lawsuit challenging the decision.

The Chinese-owned company filed a lawsuit on Monday against Montana's decision to ban TikTok from operating in the state to protect residents from alleged intelligence gathering by China.

"We believe that the Montana bill that was recently passed is simply unconstitutional," Chew told the Qatar Economic Forum organised by Bloomberg.
