Snapchat is a social media network that has been banned and/or otherwise restricted in various countries. Potential reasons for such bans include national security, user privacy, social control, protecting culture, reducing displays of behavior considered to be immoral, economic protectionism, protecting mental health (especially among youth), technological sovereignty, and regulatory compliance. Snapchat banned in Cuba by itself due to US sanctions.
