0In this video, we explore how social media platforms have quietly adopted an Orwellian form of speech control through what’s now known as "algospeak." By swapping out words like “corn” and “grape” to appease automated moderation systems, creators are effectively self-censoring—mirroring the very Newspeak that Orwell warned us about. We also unpack how algorithm-driven echo chambers, filter bubbles, and reward systems flatten public discourse and reward conformity over clarity. This isn’t just a language issue—it’s a cultural one.
