India: fully legal, unregulated. Elsewhere: certain employers, academic departments and professional bodies have moved away from NLP-based training (the UK's civil service and some NHS contexts have seen controversy over NLP-influenced training spend) — a reputational signal, not a legal ban. Reading those episodes honestly: they track evidence-claims and spending scrutiny, which argues for exactly the honest positioning this site takes.
Is NLP Banned Anywhere?
No jurisdiction bans NLP. Some professional and educational bodies have distanced themselves from it or restricted its use in specific contexts — worth knowing the difference.
