## About

Real-time streaming data platform for collection, processing, and analytics

## Activity summary

Partially blocked in Syria. A detailed community investigation in February 2026 found that the Amazon Kinesis marketing page loads on all local ISPs without a VPN, but every functional path is geoblocked: the console shows an Access Restricted page and new account signup fails at the billing step with a Website Temporarily Unavailable error. The status was set to limited on this basis, and no outreach to the company is recorded for Kinesis yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-17 — Verified. Detailed community investigation of Amazon Kinesis accessibility from Syria. The marketing page at aws.amazon.com/kinesis/ loads fully without VPN, confirmed on all local ISPs. However, all functional components are blocked: (1) Clicking "Get Started" redirects to console.aws.amazon.com/kinesis/home which shows an "Access Restricted" error — "Your access is being restricted because you appear to be located in a country or region where we do not provide services." (2) The "Sign in to console" button leads to the same Access Restricted page. (3) Account creation appears to work initially — email verification succeeds and password creation is reached — but the final billing step at portal.aws.amazon.com terminates with "Website Temporarily Unavailable," a disguised compliance block. Status changed from blocked to limited: marketing content is accessible but all service functionality remains geoblocked.

## 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.
