1. The paradox
Most sanctions on Syriawere lifted in 2025.Most digital serviceshaven't caught up.
Of 1,011 international services we've checked from Syria, 782 still refuse users there some or all of what they offer.
A map of what's blocked, who we've asked, and what's changed.
Data as of 9 Nov, 2026
2. The scope
The problem is not one platform.
It's the whole stack.
- Available69
Core use and every other part work from Syria.
- Partly available301
Core use works, but something else fails or is unchecked. 141 have a part recorded as failing. 160 have nothing failing so far, with other parts still unchecked.
- Blocked641
Core use or the website does not work from Syria.
- Unknown233
Nobody has checked its core use yet.
Checked from Syria: 1,011 of 1,244. Affected means blocked or with a part recorded as failing, as a share of checked services.
Developer tools, payment processors, cloud hosting, AI assistants, design software. Every layer of digital work.

Every figure above counts international services only. 55 Syrian-built services are tracked apart from them, because a company based in Syria never had that decision to make. Browse them
3. Locked out
Some sectors are shut
far tighter than others.
No working option
In 2 categories, nothing we have checked works from Syria. There is nothing known to switch to.
Built in Syria
In 1 category nothing international that we have checked is open. The only option that works was built in Syria.

* Lockout index runs 0 to 1. A blocked service counts 1, a partly available one 0.4, a fully available one 0. It ranks a sector of blocked services above one that is only degraded at the same affected rate. The affected rate and the index count checked services only: services nobody has checked are left out.
** Unmet demand counts votes for the services in that category that are still blocked or with a part recorded as failing.
4. What works
In the same sector,
some companies say yes.
Pick a category to see which international services work from Syria and which do not. The two columns are competitors.
Open from Syria
18 open in AI AssistantsShowing the most requested only.
Closed from Syria
19 closed in AI AssistantsShowing the most requested only.
Built in Syria
Syrian-built services in AI Assistants. They sit outside both columns: a company based in Syria never had that decision to make.
Both columns are ranked by how many people asked for the service. Competitors in the same category reach opposite conclusions about serving Syria.
5. Who owns the block
Blocking is not a blanket decision.
Access is set product by product.
49block every checked product47%
32block some checked products, not others30%
17open on every checked product16%
32 companies serve Syria on some of their products and refuse on others, so access there is set product by product.
Same owner, different answers
Where demand is highest
Companies ranked by votes on the services they still keep closed.
Open across the board
Companies whose every checked product works from Syria.
The largest 50 owners account for 34% of all affected services, and 759 companies have only one. The problem sits in a long tail, not with a few gatekeepers.

Most companies haven't revisited their Syria policy since sanctions were lifted. When they do, access is restored.
172 services are under review. 78 were declined. The rest haven't responded.
9. The proof
42 services restored so far.
Each one used to shut Syria out. Today, it doesn't.
