## About

## Activity summary

Partially blocked in Syria, with some Google services working while others stay restricted; a January 2026 report noted accounts cannot be verified with a Syrian phone number. In May 2026 a community volunteer emailed Google's compliance team requesting a company-wide review for users in Syria, citing the lifting of US and EU sanctions. No company response has been received yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-05-10 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Google's compliance team at google-cloud-compliance@google.com requesting a company-wide review to enable full service access for users in Syria across all Google products. The email noted that many Google services already work in Syria while others remain restricted, referenced the December 2025 U.S. Treasury announcement lifting the comprehensive trade embargo and the corresponding EU sanctions removal, and linked to the official OFAC documentation and unblocksyria.com/resources. corporateaffairs@unblocksyria.com was CC'd on the request.
- 2026-01-22 — Investigated. Can not verify the account using a Syrian phone number (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/wduhrvqhy7s18r6t45dxxbzq/xyo72s60jp5r7nj1cwkfdwdd-r1jpblqp0qt80cpypt3key5h-1000048424.jpg)

## 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. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
