Frequently Asked Questions

This Frequently Asked Questions (“FAQ”) document accompanies the UpScrolled Community Guidelines, Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy. Terms not defined here have the meanings set forth in those governing documents.

Why was UpScrolled created?

UpScrolled was founded to provide a global social media platform that supports lawful expression, genuine connection, and transparent community engagement. The platform was developed in response to user concerns about hidden algorithmic suppression, selective content restrictions, and inconsistent moderation on existing social networks, and is intended to promote fairness, clarity, and trust while maintaining responsible and lawful community standards.

Does UpScrolled impose any censorship?

UpScrolled does not engage in viewpoint-based censorship. Content is only restricted, removed, or otherwise moderated when it violates the UpScrolled Community Guidelines or applicable law. Prohibited conduct includes, but is not limited to, illegal activity, hate speech, harassment, bullying, explicit sexual content that violates the Community Guidelines, unlicensed copyrighted material, and conduct intended to cause harm. Enforcement actions are applied consistently and transparently in accordance with the Community Guidelines.

Would UpScrolled impose any shadow banning on my content?

Never. UpScrolled does not and will not “shadow ban” or covertly suppress content. The platform’s moderation approach is grounded in transparency and fairness: Users will be informed when content is removed or restricted under the Community Guidelines, and will have access to any available appeals processes. UpScrolled’s systems do not secretly limit visibility based on viewpoint alone.

Does UpScrolled share data with anybody?

UpScrolled does not share user data with third parties for marketing, profiling, or commercial purposes. User personal data may only be disclosed as required by applicable law, such as in response to a valid court order or other lawful process, and in compliance with the UpScrolled Privacy Policy.

What can I use the UpScrolled platform for?

UpScrolled provides users with a space to connect, express themselves, and share content in compliance with the Community Guidelines and applicable law.

Does UpScrolled use AI/ML algorithms for feed ranking?

No. UpScrolled offers a Following Feed that displays posts in strict chronological order from accounts a User chooses to follow, and a Discover Feed that uses transparent, user-centric signals such as engagement and recency to support content discovery.

Does UpScrolled have a web or desktop version?

Web and desktop versions are under consideration.

Where are UpScrolled’s servers hosted and how is data stored?

UpScrolled’s primary infrastructure and core servers are hosted in Dublin, Ireland, chosen for its robust legal protections for personal data and strong connectivity. To support global performance, UpScrolled also leverages reputable content delivery networks (CDNs) and edge infrastructure. UpScrolled is transparent about its use of third-party cloud providers and continually evaluates data hosting practices in light of evolving regulatory requirements.

Is UpScrolled a news outlet?

No. UpScrolled is not a news organization, publisher, or media entity. Users are responsible for the content they share. UpScrolled facilitates expression and connection but does not produce editorial content or curate news on behalf of third parties.

Will there be ads on UpScrolled?

Probably. Advertising is a likely feature in UpScrolled’s roadmap.

Is UpScrolled only for activists?

No. UpScrolled was born from a response to censorship concerns but is intended for a broad community of users, including creators, businesses, storytellers, educators, and everyday social participants. The platform welcomes lawful use by all who abide by the Community Guidelines.

Is user data encrypted?

Yes. UpScrolled uses industry-standard encryption for data in transit (e.g., TLS) and at rest on its servers. Sensitive credentials, such as passwords, are hashed using modern cryptographic techniques. Public content remains unencrypted end-to-end because it is intended for broad visibility, but remains secure in transit and at rest. Optional end-to-end encryption for private messages is planned and will be disclosed before launch. While UpScrolled employs reasonable security measures, no system can guarantee absolute protection against all threats, and certain data may remain unencrypted or otherwise accessible in specific circumstances. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their own login credentials, selecting strong passwords, and taking appropriate precautions to safeguard their accounts.

Will UpScrolled pay creators?

Yes. UpScrolled plans to introduce creator monetization tools, including payouts, branded content opportunities, and mechanisms for communities to support creators directly.

Where can I ask more questions?
