If anything the app is Australian, Australian made, the developers are in Australia… this is clickbait

Clickbait? The developer is Palestinian/Australian, the app’s audience is global, and it’s not just Palestine-specific. So what’s up with the sensationalised title?

It’s an app developed by a Palestinian which got popular because of recent increasing censorship on TikTok and Instagram against Palestine.

I’m aware. But it’s not just Palestine being censored, it’s currently anything the current U.S administration doesn’t like. So anything anti-trump/Zionist/Israel/ICE falls into this category.
I’m saying the title is misleading because it could be construed as “a social media app/platform specifically made for Palestinians”, which is what most people that haven’t heard of the app before would assume by reading the title alone.

That’s true but most of the hammer is coming down on Palestine content right now. Netanyahu publicly said the goal of the TikTok purchase was to censor for Israel and they’re pulling out all the stops.

Palestine is just one topic the US is bashing down. The common theme out there us US censorship and control.
