## About

Meta's AI assistant for conversations, answering questions, and generating images, built on the Llama models

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. Community testing in July 2026 confirmed that visiting meta.ai over a Syrian connection returns the message that Meta AI is not available yet in the user's country, leaving the assistant unusable. The block is a geographic restriction applied to the whole service. A community volunteer emailed Meta's press address in July 2026 asking for access to be enabled. No response yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-07-10 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Meta at press@meta.com requesting that Meta AI be enabled for users in Syria. The email cited the December 2025 U.S. Treasury announcement lifting the comprehensive trade embargo, Syria's removal from OFAC's embargoed country list, the parallel EU sanctions lift, and supporting documentation on unblocksyria.com. This is the first outreach recorded for Meta AI.
- 2026-07-06 — Investigated. Community testing confirmed that Meta AI is blocked in Syria. Accessing meta.ai over a Syrian connection returns the message "Meta AI isn't available yet in your country" with only a "Learn more" link and a log-out option, and the assistant cannot be used. The block is a geographic restriction applied to the whole service.

## 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.
