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.

Sanctions are lifted. Most companies just haven't updated their policies. A word from inside IBM can change that.
Tips for advocating
- Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams.
- Reference the lifted sanctions.
- Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria.
