Parties Seek Clarity on Whether Oct. 12 Hearing on Mont. TikTok Ban Will Include Witnesses

The parties in the consolidated cases in which TikTok users and influencers, plus TikTok itself, seeking an injunction to block enforcement of Montana’s TikTok ban (SB-419) when it takes effect Jan. 1, seek clarity over whether U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy for Montana in Missoula wants to hear witness testimony at the Oct. 12 motion hearing on the requested injunction, said their joint motion Tuesday (docket 9:23-cv-00056). “Absent direction” from the judge that witness testimony would assist the court, “the parties have stipulated that only argument from counsel will be presented,” said the motion.
