High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria, confirmed by community testing in April 2026, where access from a Syrian connection returned an Envato-branded block page served through Cloudflare. The team sent official outreach to parent company Shutterstock in April 2026, requesting a review of the Syria restrictions across its platforms. No response yet.
Contacted Company
Official outreach email sent to Shutterstock at legal-notices@shutterstock.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions for Envato Elements, ThemeForest, AudioJungle, GraphicRiver, VideoHive, and TurboSquid under the current OFAC and BIS 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 GraphicRiver 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.
