US judge blocks first-ever state ban on TikTok
美国联邦法官叫停针对TikTok的首个州禁令
Decision finds lawmakers over-reached with statewide prohibition on downloads
联邦法官发出初步禁止令,阻止蒙大拿州全面禁止TikTok的立法生效。对于围绕TikTok的政治反弹,这是一个重要的测试案例。
A federal judge has stopped a US state’s landmark ban on TikTok from going into effect, in an important test case for the widespread political backlash that has grown in the country against the Chinese-owned video sharing app.Montana’s Senate Bill 419, which was signed by the state’s Republican governor Greg Gianforte in May, would have gone into effect in January and imposed a ban on downloads of the app.
一名联邦法官阻止了美国一个州对TikTok具有里程碑意义的禁令生效。在美国针对这款中资视频分享应用的广泛政治反弹加剧的背景下,这是一个重要的测试案例。
On Thursday, Judge Donald Molloy granted TikTok’s request for a preliminary injunction after the ByteDance-owned app challenged the legislation in court, denouncing it as an unconstitutional infringement of its rights. Some users of the app also joined the legal challenge.
蒙大拿州共和党籍州长格雷格•詹福尔特(Greg Gianforte)今年5月签署的州参议院419号法案,原本将于明年1月生效,将禁止下载这款应用。
While the law would only have applied to Montana — a western state with a population of just 1.1mn — the case has reflected a broader global debate around security concerns with the app, which has drawn attention from governments and regulators concerned that TikTok’s ties to China may allow it to harvest user data for espionage purposes.
