As the U.S. government seeks to enact stricter controls over online speech, TikTok users are adopting more coded 'algospeak' to criticize and resist the government https://www.usermag.co/p/tiktok-cute-winter-boots-meaning-explained-algospeak

Oh yeah... I want to hear again from all the people outraged at the #TikTok Ban and how they were the only place for free speech and freedom.
Yeah, tell me more about that since they've sucked up to trump and you have to now use code language to overcome their censorship.

@taylorlorenz how nice, teaching the algorithm algospeak, I'm sure TikTok is flattered users are putting in all that extra effort to tutor it.

@taylorlorenz How possible is it that these beliefs about what words effect the algorithm are just completely wrong? There’s no clear evidence that leads to a word swap, just suspicions and assumptions, right?

@taylorlorenz As I have be schooled by SCOTUS and Elon Musk, any speech about "pew pew" is Constitutionally protected by 1A absolutist Musk and is encouraged by 2A absolutist "pew pew" owner Musk.
The lesson here is that 1970s Gov Ronald Reagan was all 2A absolutist until the Black Panthers started buying and training with, and showing up in public with 2A protected guns.
The GenZ kids get what us old complacent people forgot.

@pattykimura @taylorlorenz I didn't forget. It's been plain to me since a 12 year old citizen was executed in a park without a trial because a cop "thought" he had a gun that 2A is only for certain (white) people.
2A has always only been meant for white people.

@corbden @taylorlorenz Gun ownership by non-MAGA is freaking MAGA out. They are in full FAFO mode over young white non-MAGA tiktok coded discussions about arming to protect their trans and undocumented generation, their schoolmates, their friends. Unlike my generation who worried about a theoretical nuclear attack, this generation has faced death by an assault weapon as a fact. Their relationship to the reality of armed violence is real and not theoretical. As kids we never considered arming ourselves with nuclear weapons as counter to a foreign threat; their world is heartbreakingly different, the threats to their generation are domestic. They consider the world as it is, and they respond in kind. This was never the reality I hoped for them, but the old norms are rapidly and purposefully being torn asunder by Trumpism.

@taylorlorenz oh great, my TikTok feed is now full of sassy girls showing off their Ugs, and pet owners with annoyed dogs in snow boots. So much for a secret code from the resistance.
