UpScrolled was founded by Issam Hijazi, a Palestinian Australian technologist and CEO of the company behind the app, Recursive Methods Pty Ltd, based in Australia.

If it's based in Australia I wonder what the implications might be regarding surveillance, since Australia is a member of the Five Eyes, as well as any state censorship in service of Zionism, etc.

Australia has particularly nasty laws regarding governmental access to digital services via individuals involved in providing those services. UpScrolled cannot be trusted.

the cycle is nearing completion

no social media platform remains at the top for more than a few years before a new one explodes onto the scene and unseats it; if they're lucky they get to be stable like Instagram
