UNALIVED
In social media, algospeak is the use of coded expressions to evade automated content moderation. It is used to discuss topics deemed sensitive to moderation algorithms while avoiding penalties such as shadow banning, downranking, or de-monetization of content. It is a type of internet slang and a form of linguistic self-censorship.
The term algospeak is a portmanteau of Algorithm and -speak; it is also known as slang replacement or Voldemorting, referencing the fictional character also known as "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named". Algospeak is different from other types of netspeak in that its primary purpose is to avoid censorship, rather than to create a communal identity, though it may still be used for such end.
