Community testing confirmed that Brave Search is geo-blocked in Syria. Accessing search.brave.com from Syrian IPs on both mobile and desktop returns the message "This service is not available in your region". The Brave browser and the main brave.com website remain accessible.
Work at Brave Search? 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 Brave Search 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.
