## About

Meta's social VR platform for Quest headsets with gaming, virtual worlds, and social experiences

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. Community testing in March 2026 confirmed the block: the app opens on the Quest headset but the company's authentication system rejects sign-in with a geo-restriction error, making it unusable, and the block persists across multiple ISPs. The team first contacted the company in March 2026 as part of a unified request covering several of its services; no resolution yet.

## Official timeline

- 2026-03-31 — Contacted Company. First official outreach to Meta sent as part of a unified request covering multiple Meta services blocked or restricted in Syria. Meta Horizon was included as a sibling service alongside WhatsApp Business, WhatsApp, Threads, and Meta for Developers.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-06 — Investigated. Community testing confirmed that Meta Horizon is blocked in Syria. The app opens on the Quest headset but Meta's OAuth system rejects authentication with a NetworkOAuthError returning HTTP_CLIENT_ERROR code 100 and subcode 1891224. This error is consistent with Meta's geo-restriction enforcement at the API level, making the service completely unusable without authentication. The submitter reports the block applies on both Syriatel and DSL connections, and sometimes persists even with a VPN.

## 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.
