## About

Music streaming service focused on high-fidelity audio, music videos, and higher artist payouts

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. A community volunteer asked Tidal in August 2026 to have its legal team review the restriction, and support declined in September without any commitment or timeline.

## Progress timeline

- 2026-09-01 — Declined (Community Updates). Tidal support said the request had been shared internally, with no commitment or timeline, and suggested watching official social channels for updates.
- 2026-09-01 — Follow-up Sent (Community Updates). The volunteer followed up asking Tidal to forward the ticket to its Legal or Compliance team specifically, rather than treat the request as a general availability check.
- 2026-09-01 — Declined (Community Updates). Tidal support replied that the service is not available in Syria and pointed to its country availability list, without further explanation.
- 2026-09-01 — Declined (Community Updates). A second, unrelated volunteer contacted Tidal support and received the identical canned decline and country-availability link a minute apart from another ticket, indicating this is standard first-line messaging rather than a reviewed decision.
- 2026-08-29 — Contacted Company (Community Updates). A community volunteer wrote to Tidal support asking whether the Syria-specific block is still required under current sanctions policy, and requested a Legal or Compliance review of the restriction.

## 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.
