UpScrolled, a social media platform created by entrepreneur Issam Hijazi, has surged in popularity as users seek an alternative to TikTok, which faced concerns of censorship under US-backed ownership. The app allows for photo, video, and text posts, resembling a mix of Twitter and Instagram, with a focus on transparent tech and a chronological feed. Notable figures like Chris Smalls and Jacob Berger have joined UpScrolled, drawn to its emphasis on free expression and lack of algorithmic manipulation. The platform gained rapid traction following TikTok’s controversies, offering a space for diverse voices, particularly those advocating for Palestine, without censorship concerns.
