High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria, enforced at Adobe's CDN layer and confirmed by community testing in February 2026.

Contacted Company
Outreach email sent to Adobe at export@adobe.com and legal@adobe.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions for Adobe Photoshop under the current post-sanctions legal framework.
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Adobe Photoshop or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
