"Google Bard now open to use..." in the USA only, apparently. At least it is not working north of the border yet.

I'm in South Africa and I'm able to use it. Not connected to a VPN, and I've just checked that my public IP is my static IP address.

They announced that it's now available in 180+ countries in English.

I'm in Canada (apparently like MegaDeKay) and unable to use it.

Either that 180+ country rollout isn't complete, or I guess they have something against Canada('s laws) in particular.

Edit: Amusingly using a VPS provided by google as a proxy is enough to get around this.

Typically, Canada, among other things, requires localization in French to satisfy the laws in Quebec.
