YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAs cliche as it is to bring up 1984, we are quite literally doing doublespeak to get around social media censorship. Comedian Alex Pearlman joined Francesca to talk about the rise of “algospeak” in the face of right-wing suppression of free speech online.
Censorship on all the social media platforms is at an all time high, especially if you are advocating for any sort of social justice. TikTok literally handed the reins of their content moderation over to a former IDF employee to suppress support for Gaza. But don’t worry, you can say whatever slurs you want to now, because that’s the real free speech!
Now the internet has to speak in code if you want to talk about what’s really happening in the world. Want to talk about the anti-ICE protests in California? It’s the LA music festival! The Epstein files? Try “the island man” instead. And the supposed free speech absolutists like Elon Musk are nowhere to be found on this one. Apparently he has been too busy suspending his on AI chatbot Grok from Twitter for correctly calling the war on Gaza a genocide.
