What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useFails

Busuu could not be used on the web from Syria. Parent company Chegg's sanctions block page refused access to the whole site, so no lessons could be reached.

Landing pageFails

Opening busuu.com on desktop from a Syrian connection showed a block page from parent company Chegg instead of the site. The page said access from a country under U.S. sanctions is not allowed.
