Anonymous social app Fizz launches in Saudi Arabia

The anonymous social app Fizz, initially popular on college campuses, has expanded globally with its first international launch in Saudi Arabia. Within 48 hours of its debut, the app reached the number one spot on the App Store charts and has since seen over a million messages sent in a single week. This move signifies Fizz's ambition to become a generational social product beyond its college origins. The company has invested in Arabic natural language processing and local moderators to ensure compliance with regional content guidelines, though the CEO acknowledges potential challenges with government monitoring and free speech restrictions.
