The Federal Communications Commission regulates interstate and international communications through cable, radio, television, satellite and wire. The goal of the Commission is to promote connectivity and ensure a robust and competitive market.

It seems it is part of what they do.

100% inaccurate. Most people don’t know that though.

The FCC does not regulate any online content.

The FCC controls distribution methods and communications. If they aren't involved the FTC could be. They do have say in content.

How does Montana expect to make this happen?

FTC only deals with trade. They don't control access or content just making sure things are fair and not deceptive.

Montana seems to be well within their rights to make this happen and I would expect other states will follow suit one way or a variation of how Montana did it.

The FTC controls COPA. And banning TikTok is banning commerce.

Montana won't win this in court. If nothing else that pesky 1A will get in the way.
