Progress Timeline

Activity Summary

Blocked in Syria, with repeated community reports through February 2026 showing the country-level block page from Syrian connections. The team contacted the company in February 2026 and followed up citing the lifting of sanctions, but the company declined multiple times, citing trade-compliance and export-control rules along with factors beyond regulations such as customer preferences, and confirmed all geographic controls remain in place. No resolution has been reached.

Contacted Company

Outreach email sent to GitLab at legal@gitlab.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions under the current post-sanctions legal framework.
