Is MT4 still banned?

Excuse me, could you please clarify something for me? I've been hearing rumors that MetaTrader 4, or MT4, is still banned in certain regions or for certain types of trading. Is this still the case? If so, could you explain the reasons behind the ban and any potential implications for traders who might be affected? I'm particularly interested in understanding the current status of MT4's availability and whether there are any alternative platforms that traders can use instead. Thank you for your time and assistance.
