1. The paradox
Most sanctions on Syriawere lifted in 2025.Most digital serviceshaven't caught up.
Of 826 services we've tracked, 626 still restrict access from Syria.
A map of what's blocked, who we've asked, and what's changed.
2. The scope
The problem is not one platform.
It's the whole stack.
- Blocked409
- Limited109
- Restricted108
- Accessible173
- Unknown27
Developer tools, payment processors, cloud hosting, AI assistants, design software. Every layer of digital work.
3. The work
We've been asking for
a second look.
Most companies haven't revisited their Syria policy since sanctions were lifted. When they do, access comes back.
92 services are under review. 19 were declined. The rest haven't responded.
4. The proof
12 services restored so far.
Each one used to shut Syria out. Today, it doesn't.
5. The landscape
Which sectors still
lock Syria out?
6. The pipeline
How the map stays current.
Anyone can report a blocked service or suggest a correction. Every report is reviewed before it appears on the map.

7. The ask
Blocks lift from the inside.
Usually after one person calls for a review.
