## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, confirmed by community testing in March 2026: the Cognito marketing page loads, but starting the service redirects to the AWS Console, which returns a 400 Access Restricted error for Syrian users. The block has been verified, but no outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-28 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that Amazon Cognito remains blocked in Syria. The commercial landing page at aws.amazon.com/cognito loads successfully, but clicking "Get started with Amazon Cognito" redirects to console.aws.amazon.com/cognito/home where AWS returns a 400 status code with "Access Restricted — Your access is being restricted because you appear to be located in a country or region where we do not provide services."

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
