Greg Gianforte's own words, as recorded here:

https://www.npr.org/2023/05/18/1176805559/montana-tiktok-ban



Refers to a separate ban - just a gubernatorial directive - that bans TikTok from government devices:

> Last December, Gianforte banned TikTok on state government electronic devices. On Wednesday, he added that the ban would expand to include "all social media applications that collect and provide users' personal information or data to a foreign adversary, or a person or entity located within a country designated as a foreign adversary."


Hmm. It doesn't identify which ban, a good point.
