High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Restricted for users in Syria. Community testing in July 2026 found the platform itself is reachable, but Syria cannot be selected in the study location targeting field, which returns no matching results. Researchers therefore cannot recruit Syrian participants, and Syrians cannot be matched to paid studies. No outreach to the company has been made yet.
Investigated
Community testing confirmed that Respondent restricts research recruitment in Syria. The platform is reachable, but Syria cannot be chosen in the study location targeting field: typing the country name returns «No matches found», so no study can be targeted at Syrian participants.
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Respondent or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
Contact Respondent Support:
Respondent 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 Respondent directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
