@travismayo: Algospeak is Orwell's Newspeak with an app running it. Linguist Adam Aleksic's book Algospeak shows how rape became grape and suicide became sewer slide. Zuckerberg told Congress the White House pressured Facebook to censor COVID posts, even jokes. Who decided which words you're allowed to use? #TravisMayo #learning #BookTok #censorship #censorship
I hate it. It diminishes the severity of the topics.

There should be a point where internet platforms are public space. They exist on the public internet, this idea that they are private property needs to be diminished and we need to protect 1st amendment rights on online platforms

Yea one of my clients said “unalived” in real life convo and I asked her why…she said she didn’t know. I’m real big on making sure people say the word and don’t water it down. We’re not gonna make these words sting less especially not in everyday life.
