## About

ML experiment tracking, model management, and data versioning platform for machine learning teams

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. The team contacted the company in April 2026 and sent several follow-ups; the company formally declined to restore access in April 2026, citing guidance from external counsel without a specific legal basis, and reaffirmed that refusal later in April. No timeline for reconsideration was provided.

## Community reports

- 2026-04-21 — Declined. Weights & Biases reaffirmed its refusal: support stated that, based on guidance from external counsel, the company's position remains unchanged and access to its services in Syria remains restricted, with no specific legal basis or reconsideration timeline provided. This is the second formal decline, following the 16 April refusal.
- 2026-04-21 — Company Responded. Weights & Biases' support responded via supportwandb@wandb.com reiterating the earlier decline. The reply stated that, based on guidance from external counsel, the company's position remains unchanged and access to its services in Syria remains restricted at this time. No specific policy, statute, or timeline for reconsideration was provided, despite the volunteer's direct request for a substantive legal basis.
- 2026-04-21 — Follow-up Sent. A community volunteer sent another follow-up to Weights & Biases at supportwandb@wandb.com, asking the support team to substantively address the earlier request for the specific policy or law underpinning the continued restriction on Syria. No reply had been received to the prior follow-up sent five days earlier.
- 2026-04-16 — Follow-up Sent. A community volunteer sent a follow-up to Weights & Biases at supportwandb@wandb.com shortly after receiving the decline, asking the support team to clarify which specific policy or law is preventing the company from making its services available in Syria. The follow-up aims to obtain a substantive legal basis for the continued restriction beyond the generic reference to external counsel.
- 2026-04-16 — Declined. Weights & Biases' support team formally declined the Syria unblocking request via supportwandb@wandb.com. The response stated that in light of guidance from their external counsel, access to services in Syria remains restricted and onboarding cannot be enabled at this time. The reply acknowledged the OFAC and BIS documentation shared in the outreach but did not engage with its substance or provide a timeline for reconsideration.
- 2026-04-15 — Company Responded. Weights & Biases support responded to the Syria unblocking request via supportwandb@wandb.com, stating they would look into the matter and get back as soon as possible. The message was sent via the company's Zendesk support system and signed by the W&B Team, with no timeline or substantive commitment provided. This appears to be an initial holding acknowledgment rather than a substantive human review.
- 2026-04-15 — Follow-up Sent. A community volunteer sent a follow-up to Weights & Biases via the Zendesk support system, requesting an update on the initial Syria unblocking request from two days earlier. No response had yet been received from the company at that point.
- 2026-04-13 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Weights & Biases support team at support@wandb.ai requesting that service access be enabled for users in Syria. The email referenced the December 2025 U.S. Treasury announcement lifting the comprehensive trade embargo on Syria, the OFAC sanctions programs update confirming Syria's removal from the embargoed countries list, and included links to supporting documentation from unblocksyria.com/resources.

## 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.
