It's actually already banned in multiple countries, especially for anyone in government positions.

According to the world map in this link the countries that have banned it outright are: North Korea, China, Iran, Syria, Jordan, Uzbekistan, Krzykstan, India, Nepal, and Somalia.

(For anyone else like me who has trouble with unlabeled maps).
