This law brought to you by your friendly neighbourhood VPN provider. Obviously this will be overturned on the basis of the first amendment but depending on how long that takes there might be a time where Apple and Google need to block the apps. Okay they can do this by IP address but a VPN gets around that. What next? Would Montana expect the App Store to force GPS location for everyone just to enforce this law in Montana. Seems unlikely.
