## About

AI platform for generating videos, images, and digital avatars from text and audio

## Activity summary

Limited in Syria. The main website became accessible after a volunteer's outreach in February 2026, but Hedra says sign-in and sign-up still fail because its authentication provider, WorkOS, geo-blocks Syria, and the company has no way to change that on its side.

## Progress timeline

- 2026-02-19 — Declined (Community Updates). Hedra support replied that its authentication provider, WorkOS, still geo-blocks Syria by default and that Hedra has no way to adjust this on its side.
- 2026-02-18 — Follow-up Sent (Community Updates). The same volunteer reported that while the Hedra website now loads from Syria, sign-up still fails, and asked the company to investigate whether full access could be enabled.
- 2026-02-17 — Partially Resolved (Community Updates). Following the volunteer's request, Hedra support made a quick change and the main website became accessible from Syria, confirmed by a screenshot from a Syrian connection.
- 2026-02-17 — Contacted Company (Community Updates). A community volunteer emailed a Hedra contact directly, requesting that service access be enabled for Syrian users following the 2025 lifting of US and EU sanctions.

## 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.
