Progress Timeline
Activity Summary
Restricted for users in Syria: identity verification does not accept Syrian passports or ID cards, blocking signup. A volunteer wrote to parent company Scale AI's legal team in September 2026 asking it to review the country restriction.
Community Updates
Contacted Company
A community volunteer emailed Scale AI's legal team asking it to review the country restriction on Syria, citing the removal of Syria from the US state sponsors of terrorism list in August 2026 and BIS License Exception SPP.
Investigated
A submission reported that Outlier's identity-verification step returns "Couldn't verify photos" and does not accept Syrian passports or ID cards, blocking account onboarding. The main site itself loads normally.
Work at Scale AI? Know someone who does?
Sanctions are lifted. Most companies just haven't updated their policies. A word from inside Scale AI can change that.
Tips for advocating
- Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams.
- Reference the lifted sanctions.
- Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria.

Frequently Asked Questions
Outlier is restricted in Syria. Access may require workarounds or may not be fully functional. We are monitoring the situation.
Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.
You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Outlier directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
