High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria, verified by community reports in February 2026, where the site returned a sanctions block page from its parent company Chegg citing U.S. sanctions that were already lifted in December 2025. Because the block originates from Chegg's infrastructure, the team's outreach in March 2026 was directed to Chegg's compliance team. No resolution yet.
Contacted Company
Covered in outreach to Chegg (parent company). See Chegg timeline for details.
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 Busuu 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.
Contact Busuu Support:
No, Busuu is currently blocked in Syria. Users in Syria cannot access this service. We are tracking the situation and advocating for change.
Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.
You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Busuu directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
