High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
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.
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 GitLab 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.
