Can I use social media to promote my business without violating advertising laws in Montana? What are the requirements?

Based on the documents provided, it appears that Montana law does not specifically address the use of social media for advertising purposes. However, employers in Montana are limited in their access to personal social media accounts of employees or job applicants, except under certain conditions ^[2.1]. Additionally, the Montana Department of Transportation regulates outdoor advertising along highways and has specific rules regarding the size, lighting, and spacing of outdoor advertising ^[1.5][1.7]. If you are unsure whether your social media advertising complies with all applicable laws and regulations, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional.
