"Will ban" is ambiguous whether it needs to be banned at EOY 2024, or it's enough to have put a ban into practice and then lifted the ban at a later point. I think the wording sounds a lot more like the latter, but would appreciate an elaboration from @jamiebyrne on this.
@HenriThunberg Doesn’t “how many other” imply this question is asking about how many incremental countries? Ie net new from now.
@MarkHC if it's banned in the google play and apple stores, By that country it will count as a ban, Even if people sideload it or find ways around it:)
@brp no, Has to be countries that haven't implemented the ban it yet! so in America it's technically still usable so, for a country to count in this poll, the app will need to be unavailable in the country after the ban!:)
