High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria. A community report in February 2026 documented that the site's API standards and codes, critical to the oil and gas industry, are unavailable in Syria, with the site stating the product is not offered in Syria among other sanctioned countries. No outreach to the organization has been made yet.
Investigated
Users in Syria cannot access the API codes, which are crucial for the oil and gas industry. "This product is unavailable in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria"
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 American Petroleum Institute 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.
