Periscope Opening Screen: ‘Proudly Made in America By Immigrants’

Periscope is marking this past weekend’s controversy over refugees in its own way

While not quite as dramatic as the gesture by LinkedIn, Periscope is marking this past weekend’s controversy over refugees in its own way.

The Twitter-owned livestreaming application’s opening screen is displaying the following message:

Proudly made in America by immigrants.

Co-founders Joe Bernstein and Kayvon Beykpor explained the move in a blog post:

At Periscope, Kayvon and I are most proud of the team of people that we have the opportunity to work with every day. It still amazes us that so many kind, smart and generous people agreed to take this journey.
