## Community reports

- 2026-03-05 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that the Washington Post website is accessible from Syria but subscriptions are geo-restricted. The homepage at washingtonpost.com loads fully with articles, navigation, and ads functioning normally. Account creation and article browsing work without issues. However, attempting to subscribe redirects to a block page at washingtonpost.com/wp-stat/paywall/tombstone/subscribe-block.html displaying: "Sorry, subscription not available — Washington Post subscriptions are currently not available in your country or region." Status updated from unknown to restricted.

## 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.
