A stylized illustration of a cracked smartphone against a dark-blue background. The phone displays what appears to be a TikTok-style video interface with text reading "ICE OUT" visible at the top. The image is heavily obscured by colorful digital-glitch effects—horizontal bars and rectangular blocks in cyan, magenta, purple, and teal—that fragment and distort the screen, suggesting censorship or digital interference. The phone has visible cracks across its screen, and the overall aesthetic conveys themes of social-media suppression or content moderation.
