Activity Summary

Blocked in Syria, geoblocked since 2 February 2026 alongside Cuba, North Korea, Iran and Belarus. After outreach in February and an escalation to Kpler's leadership in April, a renewed request in September 2026 drew an automated reply saying the company has no published statement explaining the legal basis.
