## Community reports

- 2026-06-28 — Investigated. Community testing confirmed that Facebook Marketplace is blocked in Syria. While the main Facebook interface loads and the account is logged in, opening Marketplace returns a lock page reading "The Marketplace feature is not available to you," stating that Marketplace may not have launched in the user's country. The feature is reported to work only over a VPN. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/fnmj3c2ha04csf4y86ftyuk0/r04dpnl23edrfgp14vbfq4b8-4c2909ec-0604-4526-bba4-f4cce38b54ba.png)

## 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.
