Investigated
Community member reported that Amazon Alexa is blocked in Syria. The service does not function from Syrian IP addresses. When accessed via VPN, the device adopts the VPN country's settings, losing localized features such as news, weather, and language preferences.
Work at Alexa? Know someone who does?
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 Alexa 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.
