High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria, verified in February 2026, when the site shows a sanctions compliance page despite the sanctions having been lifted. The team, including its legal advisor, contacted Figma repeatedly since early 2026; Figma acknowledged there is no legal barrier under sanctions but cited an ongoing internal review with no timeline, repeating the same templated reply since.

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 Figma 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.
