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 MasterClass 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 MasterClass Support:
MasterClass is restricted in Syria. Access may require workarounds or may not be fully functional. We are monitoring the situation.

You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting MasterClass directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
