Apparently, Evan Spiegel has said they do not want to expand to poor countries like India and Spain. And he doesn't care so much about the Android version.

The amazing part of Spain being a poor country is that all Arab countries combined have a lower GDP than Spain.

The Bay Area has a larger GDP than the country of Mexico.

That's not true.

Spain: $1.23 trillion

Saudi Arabia: $639b, UAE: $371b, Egypt: $332b

Those three combined are larger than Spain's economy.

Then you also have Iraq: $167b, Algeria: $160b Qatar: $156b, Morocco: $103b, Sudan $94b, etc.

I'm in Spain, and I know a lot of local Snapchat users. Not sure what he's on about.
