BANNED ON TIK TOK?

Fight it of course ... but also switch to 'UpScrolled' to not get censored.
History: UpScrolled was launched in June 2025 by Recursive Methods Pty Ltd. It was founded by Issam Hijazi, a Palestinian-Australian app developer who previously worked for IBM and Oracle. UpScrolled is backed by the Tech for Palestine incubator.

Hijazi told Rest of World that he launched UpScrolled in response to Israel's genocide in Gaza which followed the October 7 attacks on Israel. He said, "I couldn't take it anymore. I lost family members in Gaza, and I didn't want to be complicit. So I was like, I'm done with this, I want to feel useful. I found this gap in the market, with a lot of people asking why there is no alternative to the Big Tech platforms for their content, which was getting censored."
