CNBC原文:
Montana legislators approved a bill on Friday that would ban TikTok from being offered in the state in a 54-43 vote. The bill, SB 419, now goes to Montana Republican Governor Greg Gianforte for approval. TikTok, which is owned by China's ByteDance, is likely to take action to prevent the bill from becoming law. If implemented, it would be the first statewide ban of its kind.
蒙大拿州议员周五以54票对43票通过了一项法案,禁止在该州使用TikTok。该法案编号为SB 419,目前已提交给蒙大拿州共和党州长格雷格·詹福尔特签署审批。中国字节跳动旗下的TikTok可能会采取行动,阻止该法案成为一项正式法律。如果此法案得以实施,它将成为第一个在全州范围内禁用TikTok的禁令。
