## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is Georgia Tech available in Syria?

No, Georgia Tech is currently blocked in Syria. Users in Syria cannot access this service. We are tracking the situation and advocating for change.

### Why is Georgia Tech blocked in Syria?

Most likely a company policy that has not caught up with the law. The US sanctions program on Syria ended on 1 July 2025, the EU lifted its economic sanctions in May 2025, and Syria was removed from the US list of State Sponsors of Terrorism in August 2026. Many companies set their Syria restrictions before these changes and have not updated them. This page shows the evidence we have for Georgia Tech and any reply from the company.

### How can I help unblock Georgia Tech in Syria?

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement.
