Investigated
Community testing confirmed that Map Genie is blocked in Syria. Accessing mapgenie.io from a Syrian IP returns an HTTP 403 error page stating "Access to mapgenie.io was denied" with the message "You don't have authorization to view this page." The site is completely inaccessible.
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 Map Genie 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.
