Progress Timeline
Activity Summary
Blocked in Syria, confirmed by community testing in March 2026: the S3 marketing pages load, but the AWS Console returns a 400 Access Restricted error for Syrian users, so buckets cannot be created or managed. The team contacted Amazon in March 2026, naming S3 among the blocked AWS services; no response has been recorded yet.
Contacted Company
Official outreach email sent to Amazon specifically naming S3 among the blocked AWS cloud services requiring access restoration for Syrian users.
