- 2026-03-05 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Garmin's privacy team, citing the December 2025 lifting of US and EU sanctions on Syria, and asked whether Syria could now be onboarded and supported on the platform.
- 2026-02-12 — Investigated. A community correction confirmed Garmin blocked in Syria: the site returned an IP-ban message from a Syrian connection, with a screenshot as evidence. Status corrected from unknown to blocked.
- 2026-02-08 — Investigated. A community submission proposed listing Garmin's GPS, wearable and navigation services, with blocking status unverified from Syria at the time.

## 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.
