Activity Summary
Blocked in Syria, verified in February 2026, when account creation and login were blocked even after sign-in. The team contacted the company in February 2026 and sent formal follow-ups through March, but in March 2026 the company's legal team declined to lift the restrictions, saying it is monitoring global sanctions and has no plans to restore availability in Syria at this time.

Sanctions are lifted. Most companies just haven't updated their policies. A word from inside Notion Labs can change that.

- Reference the lifted sanctions.
- Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria.
