Blocked in Syria, verified by community testing in March 2026 showing a Cloudflare block page from Syrian IP addresses. A community volunteer emailed the company in March 2026 citing the lifting of sanctions and requesting access for Syria. No response has been received yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-31 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Speaky's support team at contact@speaky.com requesting that service access be enabled for users in Syria. The email referenced the lifting of U.S. and EU sanctions on Syria and included links to official OFAC documentation and resources from unblocksyria.com.
- 2026-03-03 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that Speaky is blocked in Syria. Attempting to access www.speaky.com from a Syrian IP returns a Cloudflare block page: "Sorry, you have been blocked. You are unable to access speaky.com." The block page indicates the website uses a security service (Cloudflare) that has triggered an access denial, likely based on geographic IP restrictions. This confirms the earlier unverified report from March 2. Status updated from unknown to blocked. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/ovfuqkmw8wpbbl21eu63v8hu/s8nwnj5a0xvqatcvyhtmmmtu-screenshot-2026-03-03-051217.png)
- 2026-03-02 — Investigated. A community member reported that Speaky may be blocked in Syria. No evidence screenshots were provided with the submission. Independent verification is needed to confirm the blocking status.

## 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. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
