Brazil banned it for roughly a month earlier this year, but that was due to the company deciding to ignore the law and refusing to pay fines.

No idea about USA, but other countries could claim it's being used to spy on their citizens, much like USA is accusing tiktok.

The other way to ask for a country wide ban is to make a very, very, very strong case for how much the disinfo spread through there is harmful for the stability of the country. Then again, you'd have to apply that to whatsapp and telegram as well, there are thousands of groups that are all about sharing rage bullshit
