TikTok content creators file lawsuit against Montana over first-in-nation law banning app

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:39:08 GMT

AMY BETH HANSON, HALELUYA HADERO and MATTHEW BROWN (Associated Press)HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Five TikTok content creators have filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn Montana’s first-in-the-nation ban on the video sharing app, arguing the law is an unconstitutional violation of free speech rights.The Montana residents also argued in the complaint, filed in federal court late Wednesday without public notice, that the state doesn’t have any authority over matters of national security. Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte signed the bill into law Wednesday and said it would protect Montana residents’ private data and personal information from being harvested by the Chinese government. The ban is scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, 2024.“The law takes the broadest possible approach to its objectives, restricting and banning the protected speech of all TikTok users in Montana to prevent the speculative and unsubstantiated possibility that the Chinese government might dir...

Powerful Taunton heats up at the plate, defeats Milford, 9-2

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:39:08 GMT

TAUNTON — It was a day of celebration in Taunton, both during pregame and postgame. Senior Day festivities preceded a Hockomock League baseball matchup against No. 10 Milford, and a 9-2 victory for the No. 2 Tigers is how the day ended.“In the past I’ve had the mindset that Senior Day was a distraction,” Tigers coach Blair Bourque said. “Lately I’ve embraced it and they reward you with a great game. We played really well, and I am proud of them.”While the runs eventually came for the defending Division 1 state champion Tigers (14-4), it took a few innings. Milford pitcher Evan Cornelius was able to stave Taunton off over the first few innings, but the hitters did pick up on some tendencies.“Early on, he was pounding me with sliders,” Taunton senior Braden Sullivan said. “I was able to sit back and drive it and do my job to get on base.”Jack Cali was impressive for the Tigers as well, keeping Milford off the board for the majority of his 3.2 innings outing.It was Sullivan who broke t...
