☆ TikTok funds lawsuit by Montana users challenging statewide ban
  + stars: | 2023-06-28 | by ( Brian Fung | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +1 min
CNN —A high-profile lawsuit brought by TikTok users and creators last month challenging Montana’s statewide ban against the short-form video app is being funded by the social media giant itself, the company told CNN on Wednesday. TikTok has been covering legal fees for the group of five TikTok creators, said Jodi Seth, a TikTok spokesperson, separately from the company’s own lawsuit to block the state’s new law targeting the app over national security concerns. “We support our creators through various programs and have an ongoing dialogue about their presence on TikTok,” Seth said in a statement. We will support our creators in fighting for their constitutional rights.”TikTok’s involvement in the creators’ suit was first reported this week by The New York Times, weeks after the initial court case was filed. The suit by the TikTok creators was the first to challenge Montana’s law banning TikTok from being offered within state lines and establishing penalties for the company and for app stores that violate the law.

When five TikTok creators in Montana filed a lawsuit last month, saying the state’s new ban of the app violated their First Amendment rights and far outstripped the government’s legal authority, it appeared to be a grass-roots effort. One relevant fact that the creators and TikTok didn’t mention: The company is financing their case. When the case was filed, TikTok said it was weighing whether to file a separate one — a move the company made several days later. This week, Jodi Seth, a spokeswoman for TikTok, acknowledged that it was paying for the users’ lawsuit after two of them told The New York Times about the company’s involvement. “Many creators have expressed major concerns both privately and publicly about the potential impact of the Montana law on their livelihoods,” Ms. Seth said.
