“Not available in your location

Imagine with Meta Al isn't available in your location yet. You can learn more about Al at Meta in the meantime and try again soon.”

I wonder why it's region-locked?

Meta's AI stickers also only seem to be available in the US for now (or at least not in WhatsApp in the EU).

Which region is locked? That might give a clue.

Is there anyone outside the US that isn't locked out, or was this a US-only release? Could this possibly have to do with the sanctions on China?

New Zealand is locked out. (Normally we get first dibs on things being a small test market)

Brazil. So it's unlikely to be GDPR-related, unless they're also treating our LGPD as a special case.

Norway is blocked, so probably some GDPR issues.
