## About

Java and Kotlin IDE with advanced code analysis and refactoring tools

## Activity summary

Partially blocked in Syria. A community report in February 2026 found the website reachable but internal services such as plugin downloads blocked for Syrian users, an issue shared across the company's products. The team contacted the company and sent a follow-up in March 2026; the company replied the same month with an automated acknowledgment confirming the request is under review.

## Official timeline

- 2026-03-31 — Follow-up Sent. Follow-up sent to JetBrains regarding IntelliJ IDEA as part of company-wide outreach to compliance@jetbrains.com.
- 2026-03-30 — Company Responded. JetBrains' compliance team responded to the outreach via compliance@jetbrains.com with an automated acknowledgment routed through their Legal support portal. The response confirmed that request #8664096 has been received and is being reviewed. This covers all JetBrains products including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, and others. The response appears to be an automated acknowledgment rather than a substantive legal review.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-12 — Partially Resolved. Community report: IntelliJ IDEA's website is accessible from Syria, but internal services such as plugin downloads are blocked with a message indicating the service is unavailable in Syria.

## 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.
