A spokeswoman for Ramaswamy's campaign defended both the decision to join TikTok and Ramaswamy's criticisms that the app is dangerous. While he is trying to make himself attractive to younger voters, Ramaswamy has promoted policy ideas that would directly target them. It creates short clips criticizing and mocking Republicans and recycles Biden clips originally posted on other social media networks such as Instagram. “I’m hopeful that as more younger conservative candidates run for office, they’ll embrace social media more and be more comfortable with it," she said.

TikTok said it opposes the bill, adding that there's no clear path for the Montana government to enforce it or punish violators. "We will continue to fight for TikTok users and creators in Montana whose livelihoods and First Amendment rights are threatened by this egregious government overreach."
