I believe Ireland is currently looking at the possibility of fining it for data infractions, and the EU's had it in its sights for propagating hate speech and disinformation for a while.

I'm not in favour of banning it. Telegram was more instrumental in mobilizing the recent attacks, and Facebook and other social media platforms have also played significant roles. Twitter has been important in organizing and publicizing the opposition to the far right's recent attacks despite Musk's efforts.
