Upscrolled founder Issam Hijazi condemned major technology companies at Web Summit Qatar for their role in enabling Israel’s genocide in Gaza, saying big tech has already proven it is not ethical.

He said technology supplied to certain regimes has facilitated mass killing in a confined area, explicitly pointing to Gaza, and said that with big tech profit consistently comes before human life.

Hijazi said these companies show no concern for user wellbeing or mental health, monetise personal data when it is profitable, and deliberately design addictive platforms.

He said big tech is not building for humanity, but generating revenue without regard for the human devastation their tools help enable.
