Reason for Boycott
Financial Ownership: Founded in 2015 by Ertuğrul Özpolat and funded by local angel investors such as Hakan Baş and Sina Afra, the platform is a 100% domestic venture financially. It has no organic, financial, or logistical ties to global exploitation funds (BlackRock/Vanguard) or the Israeli occupation ecosystem. Its capital is entirely clean. Advertising Agreements and +18 Content Violation: Although it passes the "Zionist Capital" filter, the platform fails the "Public Morality" filter due to the unmoderated digital advertising networks (ad-networks) it has integrated. As a result of bulk advertising agreements made to maximize revenue, obscene (+18) ads are broadcast unfiltered on an app accessible to children and youth, and the company turns a systemic blind eye to this moral disinformation. Platform Security and Digital Corruption: The inadequacy of in-app moderation and reporting mechanisms has turned the e-commerce platform into a zone of moral decay. In particular, female users selling second-hand clothes become targets of an organized digital harassment base offering extra money in exchange for "sending the products unwashed and heavily used" through public listings.
