High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria, verified in February 2026 when the website and cloud services were found inaccessible from Syrian IP addresses. The team first contacted the company in February 2026 and a community volunteer sent a follow-up in April 2026, citing the lifting of U.S. and EU sanctions. No response has been received yet.
Contacted Company
Outreach email sent to IBM at trustww@us.ibm.com and legal@ibm.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions for IBM 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 IBM 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.
Contact IBM Support:
No, IBM is currently blocked in Syria. Users in Syria cannot access this service. We are tracking the situation and advocating for change.
Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.
You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting IBM directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
