## About

Interactive online platform for learning programming and technical skills

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. The team contacted the company in February 2026 to request removal of Syria IP restrictions under the lifted U.S. sanctions, and the company's support confirmed the matter had been escalated to its legal team for review. The block remains in place with no resolution yet.

## Official timeline

- 2026-02-09 — Contacted Company. Outreach email sent to Codecademy at legal@codecademy.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions for Codecademy under the current post-sanctions legal framework.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-05 — Company Responded. Codecademy support responded confirming the legal team has been made aware of the request. Suggested also contacting their legal team directly at legal@skillsoft.com for faster processing.
- 2026-02-05 — Contacted Company. Contacted Codecademy via support ticket requesting removal of Syria IP restrictions. Email outlined the full U.S. sanctions lift (EO 14312, OFAC removal of 31 CFR Part 542, Caesar Act repeal, BIS License Exception SPP), explained the use case (Dutch company with Syria-based engineers), and referenced other platforms that have already restored access.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
