## About

Leading American newspaper offering news, opinion, and investigative journalism

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria. Community testing in March 2026 confirmed the main site, all news sections, login, and video play fully from a Syrian connection, but paying for a subscription through the payment processor fails with an error. The restriction is on payment only; free content and browsing work. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-08 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that the New York Times website is accessible from Syria with payment restrictions. The main site at nytimes.com loads fully, including the Middle East news section, all article categories (business, cooking, arts, video, global), and subpages. Login with a personal email account works. Video content plays normally. However, attempting to subscribe or pay for a premium account via pay.google.com returns error OR_IBSP_01 ("Something went wrong"). The restriction is on the payment side only — all free content and browsing is fully functional.

## 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.
