A pro-Palestinian app created to help consumers boycott Israeli products has gained traction on TikTok amid calls in Hebrew-language media for Google to ban it.
The free app, called “No Thanks,” was launched by Palestinian graduate student Ahmed Bashbash last November. Downloaded by 100,000 users within a month, the app enables consumers to scan product barcodes to determine if the item has connections to Israel.
By the start of April, “No Thanks” reported one million people had downloaded the app. Millions of users had viewed tikTok influencer videos promoting “No Thanks,” contributing to the app’s growth of 900,000 downloads in four months.
🤔
Thats an age rating (like for content like Movies with Violence), the version history shows v1.0 came out 3 months ago
Yes, you’re right; edited to reflect that. My mistake.
The text is from the TimesOfIsrael website, so blame them for being wrong.
What matters is that the app exists and helps to boycot and from what I understood is that Israel wants to see it banned.
Nice ads
Strange, maybe he in place updated an old app in true student fashion
Nah I just looked at the wrong thing because I rarely download new apps and am apparently unfamiliar with the AppStore interface lol
The Age rating is who can use the App, not how long it’s been up.
