Google Play has delisted UpScrolled, the “censorship-resistant” social media app founded by Issam Hijazi, following its rapid growth to over 2.5 million users and its brief stint as a top-ranked alternative to TikTok.

While the app remains available for existing users, Google has not provided a specific reason for the removal; UpScrolled’s team confirmed they are working with the Play Store for reinstatement while maintaining their commitment to unfiltered content.

This development follows the app’s rapid ascent in popularity, particularly amid concerns over content moderation on competing platforms like TikTok.

          Can you give an example? It seems their power and influence were not enough against Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Russia. They even lose their grasp on Africa. China and India don’t look like they care a tiny bit of that mythical power. So we have plenty of examples where their power does not stretch far enough, can you give an example that shows how powerful and influential the West is?
