## About

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, reported by a community member in March 2026 without supporting evidence. The team contacted the company in April 2026, noting Syrian musicians cannot distribute their music through the service; the company's legal team replied the same day with an automated acknowledgment stating the request is under review. No resolution so far.

## Official timeline

## Community reports

- 2026-03-02 — Investigated. A community member reported that DistroKid is blocked in Syria. No evidence screenshots were provided with the submission. Independent verification is needed to confirm the blocking status and identify the blocking method.

## 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.
