## About

Google's open-source programming language for building reliable, efficient software

## Activity summary

Partially blocked in Syria. A community report in February 2026 found that the go.dev site loads normally, but the download links on the releases page return a 404 error from Syrian connections, so the language is usable for browsing while downloads are geo-restricted. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-16 — Investigated. Community report from Syria (Windows/Firefox desktop). The main go.dev website loads normally, but download links on the releases page return a Google 404 error page. Submitter confirms: "The main website is working normally but in the download page when you select a platform it blocks you from downloading it." Status set to limited — site accessible, downloads geo-restricted.

## 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.
