High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria, confirmed by community testing in February 2026, when the site returned a Cloudflare block page making the asset marketplace fully inaccessible from Syrian IPs. The team contacted the parent company in April 2026 in a consolidated request covering its sister platforms, but no response has been recorded yet.
Contacted Company
Official outreach email sent to Shutterstock at legal-notices@shutterstock.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions for Envato Elements, ThemeForest, AudioJungle, GraphicRiver, VideoHive, and TurboSquid under the current OFAC and BIS framework.
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 Envato Elements 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.
