Work at TikTok? Know someone who does?
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 TikTok 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.
