UpScrolled, a social media platform launched last year, has quickly gained millions of downloads and ranks highly in app stores across several countries. Founder Issam Hijazi criticized Big Tech for prioritizing profit over ethics and emphasized UpScrolled's commitment to user wellbeing, freedom of expression, and transparency. The platform aims to provide a healthier alternative to existing social media by allowing users to log off and avoiding algorithmic manipulation. Hijazi believes there is a growing demand for ethical digital engagement, and UpScrolled is positioned to meet this need.
