High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria. Community reports from February and March 2026 show that the app loads but video generation fails with a generic error, tested across multiple Syrian connections, consistent with requests being blocked at the provider level. The team named Sora in a follow-up to the company in March 2026, alongside its other products; no resolution yet.
Follow-up Sent
Official follow-up email sent from corporateaffairs@unblocksyria.com to support@openai.com. Sora was explicitly named alongside ChatGPT as blocked, with a request for a single corporate-level compliance review covering all three OpenAI products.
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 Sora 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.
