Washington (AFP) - In a landmark climate trial, a Montana court on Monday ruled in favor of a group of youths who accused the western US state of violating their rights to a clean environment.

The case, Held v. State of Montana -- brought by 16 plaintiffs ranging in age from five to 22 -- has been closely watched because it could bolster similar litigation that has been filed across the country.

San Francisco (AFP) - Montana on Wednesday became the first US state to ban TikTok, with the law set to take effect next year as debate escalates over the impact and security of the popular video app. The prohibition signed into law by Governor Greg Gianforte will serve as a legal test for a national ban of the Chinese-owned platform, something that lawmakers in Washington are increasingly calling for. "TikTok may not operate within the territorial jurisdiction of Montana," said a copy of the freshly-minted law at the state website. The ban makes it a violation each time "a user accesses TikTo...

Washington (AFP) - The western US state of Montana on Thursday was on the verge of implementing a total ban on TikTok, after a proposal passed a key hurdle in its legislature. If enacted, the proposed law would be unprecedented and test the legal waters for a national ban of the popular Chinese-owned app, a fate that is increasingly being called for in Washington. Montana's Republican-dominated lower house overwhelmingly voted for a complete ban, with a final vote set for Friday before it goes to the state's governor to become law. It passed by 60 votes for and 39 against. TikTok said US court...
