Washington (QNN)- TikTok users are flocking to a new platform founded by a Palestinian after Trump ally and pro-Israel Larry Ellison officially took over the app. The move follows TikTok’s announcement of a deal to create a new US entity, giving Ellison control over content policies and the power to shape an anti-Palestinian agenda.

Guy Christensen, a TikTok influencer with more than 3 million followers, wrote on X, “TikTok users are fleeing to a new upstart social media called **UpScrolled ** after Larry Ellison purchased the platform. UpScrolled is founded by a Palestinian and promises no censorship and no billionaires.”

He added, “Yesterday, it broke into the top 15 most downloaded apps.” Several activists and social media users have joined the app in recent days.

    Its honestly too bad Loops wasn’t in the app stores for this event. Im sure it would have gained a good amount of users from the exodus.

      Loops needs to fix some things, like showing you videos you have already seen. I have scrolled for half an hour or so, then gone done something else and returned to watch some more and the majority of what I see I already saw during my last watch session.

      Edit: upscrolled feels more like Instagram than TikTok/rednote/loops
