Summary Free Expression & Algorithmic Suppression Advocates
Tim Bray's essay reviews two books on internet linguistics ('Because Internet' and 'Algospeak') and critiques how corporate social media algorithms suppress authentic linguistic expression through forced euphemism (algospeak). The content advocates for decentralized platforms (Mastodon, Bluesky) as spaces enabling unmediated communication and cultural freedom. The work champions Article 19 (freedom of expression) and Article 13 (freedom of movement/association) while documenting how algorithmic constraint violates linguistic autonomy.
Rights Tensions 2 pairs
Art 19 ↔ Art 27 — Corporate algorithmic suppression of linguistic expression (Article 19) conflicts with users' cultural right to participate in linguistic evolution (Article 27); content resolves this by advocating decentralized platforms that enable both rights simultaneously.
Art 12 ↔ Art 19 — Algorithmic surveillance (violating Article 12 privacy) is designed to facilitate targeted advertising but constrains linguistic freedom (Article 19); content frames privacy and expression as inseparable rights requiring non-algorithmic infrastructure.

My son would point out that the "incel cesspool" actually absorbed a lot of its vocabulary from 4chan and other "manosphere" spaces and there are a lot of people who talk that way who are not incels.

For instance that Clavicular guy who was profiled in the New York Times claims he is having sex and it seems he was actually "dating" a female influencer when he was being interviewed by an NYT reporter.

I know this is going to sound like an "old man yells at cloud" moment, but I cannot get over the number of people using "cause" as a replacement for "because."

Maybe it was my time spent in the book publishing industry, but it causes me pain every time I see it.

The horror: https://x.com/search?q=cause&src=typed_query&f=live

I read both books too and when I saw the title they're what it reminded me of and then it was confirmed when I clicked the link, so it's nice to predict something then be right.

I would definitely recommend people to read them, in the order of their publishing, as internet speak changes fast enough to have a difference between 2019 and 2025.

Something I have not seen discussed is the highly dynamic semantics of the annoying Gen Alpha variant of BrainRot. It has this fascinating aspect of slang with meanings that can shift in combination with other terms: Skibidi, Sigma, 6-7, Ohio -- Not only do these have flexible semantics in the first place, their meaning can dynamically change in the context of other such terms... if any meaning is intended at all.

As an example, "sigma" could be used as "He's so sigma!" (positive connotations) or "What the sigma!" (negative connotations) or "Sigma skibidi Ohio!" (what the sigma?!?)

And then there are suffixes like "maxxing" which seem straightforward ("bench-maxxing") but can be used in creative combinations, like somebody used "second-story-maxxing" to mean "going upstairs." Not quite Shakespeare, but funny.

I am no linguist but this seems unprecedented. At least ChatGPT thinks there is precedence, but only gave examples of nonsense terms in literature (like "The Jabberwocky") and counter-cultural slang or art (like Dadaism) or meanings that shifted over time.

However this idea of semi-defined words and memes that get combinatorially and dynamically redefined -- or even undefined -- seems different. I think this is more than just The Algorithm, it's more a spillover of a subculture into the mainstream. It's like slang that has intentionally internalized trolling and arbitrary word-coining as part of normal discourse.

"Before computers, a knowledge worker who had laboriously constructed essays in college quite likely wrote almost nothing for the rest of their working life. People talked face-to-face or on the phone, and dictated to secretaries."

Real men didn't type.

Even lawyers, whose job is producing written text, rarely typed; they wrote on yellow pads. Legal secretaries turned that into clean copy. Engineers on the Apollo program were still dictating to secretaries.

It doesn’t matter how much I label myself. If I’m a demisexual goblincore Gen Z Swiftie, I guarantee there are still others like me.

With enough ad and cookie blocking, it gets weird. Youtube Shorts decided for a while that I really want to watch videos of semi-automatic pipe welding tools being used by Asian women. At least twenty of those. Now that's niche.

Before that, there was a batch of rock crusher videos from India.

This week, the welding tools and rock crushers are gone, but there are many ads for cruise lines. Also, ads for cat food. I don't have a cat.

With tracking blocked, but an IP address that changes infrequently, that's apparently what the ad system does - tries batches of some random subject and see if there's any response. It can't lock onto anything effective.

satvikpendem 2026-03-10 20:43 UTC link
It's a contraction to 'cause just with the apostrophe elided. Everyone knows what they mean and knows that this cause is different than the other verb or noun "cause." I also sometimes use its instead of it's in text because it's too annoying to fix the autocorrected (or not) spelling on a phone keyboard, not because I don't know the difference.
blacksmith_tb 2026-03-10 20:45 UTC link
Not really different from "just cuz" is it? Though I suppose it is a little worse, given that it's a different word, not an obvious contraction.

It doesn't make me want to explode like "pacific" instead of "specific" does...

satvikpendem 2026-03-10 20:48 UTC link
Yes, Algospeak goes through this. It's funny to see words like mogging or looksmaxxing be common internet parlance, it's as if the terms lose their toxic power through widespread usage, just as I recall the story of the KKK having their secrets leaked via a radio program such that kids started talking about "grand wizards" for fun [0].

>>> However this idea of semi-defined words and memes that get combinatorially and dynamically redefined -- or even undefined -- seems different

Take a look back at Shakespeare again. Every line has this sort of semantic shapeshifting quality, where the meaning and intent can be radically changed, sometimes multiple times, after each successive line, and on top of that, the rhyme and meter are all proper and structured. Sometimes the puns and memes and 5 dimensional wordplay are really dependent on knowing the culture and current events of the time, but a whole lot of it hits on human basics.

It'd be really cool if a whole generation had that sort of wordplay and meta-meme construction kit baked into their slang, and kids are growing up in worlds where meaning and memes are radically changing in ways humans have never dealt with before. Makes sense that their language would be malleable and suited to purpose.

> I cannot get over the number of people using "cause" as a replacement for "because."

This is ... very old. I'm not sure why you would think it's not, honestly.

It's just a plain old contraction.

I also got the attractive asian women definitely not wearing construction clothing demonstrating automated pipe welding machines.

The worst is when you accidentally click one of the manosphere/incel videos, then get a stream of them afterwards.

For a while YouTube was trying to get me to watch shorts of factories in Pakistan making different color sheets of industrial foam. Every day a new color of foam. I still don't know what the foam is for, or if the color indicates the intended use.

Wait, people don't just block Shorts from UI using uBlock, and never see them again ever?

Article 19 Freedom of Expression
High A:free expression under algorithmic constraint F:language evolution and authenticity P:decentralized communication platforms
Editorial
+0.65
SETL
+0.25

This is the core article for the post. Content celebrates linguistic freedom and criticizes algorithmic constraint on expression. The post documents how speakers are forced to adopt euphemisms ('unalive,' evasive techniques) to evade algorithmic suppression of certain speech topics. Notes that Chinese language users have developed sophisticated euphemization techniques to circumvent algorithmic detection. Argues that podcasters and YouTubers must adopt MrBeast-like vocal techniques to succeed, standardizing expression against natural variation. Advocates strongly for decentralized platforms where 'language grows...when...new things need to be said' without algorithmic interference. The entire post frames authentic linguistic expression as a human right being undermined by algorithm-driven commercial platforms.

Article 13 Freedom of Movement
Medium A:freedom of movement F:digital space as public sphere
Editorial
+0.40
SETL
+0.14

Content implicitly affirms freedom of movement in digital space. The advocacy for decentralized platforms ('Fediverse,' 'ATmosphere') treats the internet as a commons where people should be able to move freely without algorithmic constraint. The criticism that 'They shouldn't have to struggle!' to communicate suggests that freedom to navigate and participate in digital spaces is a basic right.

Article 26 Education
High A:education and linguistic knowledge F:accessible learning about language evolution P:open-access educational content
Editorial
+0.40
SETL
+0.14

Content treats linguistic education and knowledge as central to human development. The entire post is an educational review of two books about language evolution, internet linguistics, and algorithmic effects on communication. Celebrates the accessibility of these ideas ('I learned a lot about the words and emojis younger folk emit') and offers educational value to readers. Positions understanding language as something that enriches life and community participation. Notes personal educational trajectory ('Linguistics is one of the disciplines I regret not having chosen') as motivation for engagement.

Article 12 Privacy
High F:privacy violation A:algorithmic surveillance C:euphemism adoption
Editorial
+0.35
SETL
+0.46

Content critiques algorithmic surveillance and data-driven profiling as invasive. Notes that The Algorithm's categorization of users ('demisexual goblincore Gen Z Swiftie') reduces privacy by making individuals 'easier to classify and market to.' The forced adoption of euphemisms ('unalive' instead of 'suicide') represents defensive adaptation against algorithmic monitoring of private thoughts and speech. Advocates for decentralized platforms as spaces free from algorithmic surveillance.

Article 27 Cultural Participation
Medium A:cultural participation in language community F:linguistic creativity and evolution
Editorial
+0.35
SETL
+0.13

Content celebrates linguistic creativity and cultural participation in language communities. Frames language evolution as a core human activity worth protecting and studying. Notes that informal internet writing sparked a 'writing renaissance,' democratizing authorship and cultural participation. Celebrates emerging linguistic forms ('algospeak,' emoji use, vocal techniques) as authentic cultural creation. Advocates for platforms where 'language grows in a place where new forms arrive when they're needed,' enabling ongoing cultural participation. Treats linguistic innovation and artistic expression through language as human flourishing.

Article 1 Freedom, Equality, Brotherhood
Medium F:human dignity A:freedom of expression P:algorithmic constraint
Editorial
+0.30
SETL
+0.12

Post affirms human dignity through extended discussion of linguistic autonomy. Argues that algorithmic constraint on language use (forcing speakers to adopt euphemisms, modify vocal patterns, accept algorithmic categorization) violates the autonomy and dignity inherent in natural human communication. Contrasts this with decentralized platforms that preserve linguistic freedom.

+0.30
Article 21 Political Participation
Medium F:democratic participation in digital infrastructure A:user voice in algorithmic design
Editorial
+0.30
SETL
+0.12

Content implicitly addresses democratic participation in digital infrastructure design. Notes that people are 'living and speaking in the shade of The Algorithm' with no voice in its design or governance. The post criticizes that algorithms are 'designed with one goal: To maximize the effectiveness of human conversation at generating advertising revenue,' treating users as means rather than stakeholders. Advocates for decentralized platforms as alternative where users might have greater voice in governance and design. Does not explicitly address democratic political participation but implies that voice in shaping the infrastructure of communication is a participation right.

Content affirms the centrality of language and communication to human identity and dignity. The post argues that language is 'at the core of who and what we are,' grounding discussion of linguistic freedom in fundamental human value. Advocates for decentralized platforms as spaces where people can communicate without algorithmic constraint.

Article 16 Marriage & Family
Medium F:algorithmic constraint on family/community A:surveillance of intimate communication
Editorial

Content addresses how algorithmic constraint affects family and community formation. Notes that The Algorithm partitions people into micro-segmented cohorts, making it harder for organic community to form around shared interests rather than algorithmic categorization. The post criticizes forced categorization ('if I'm a demisexual goblincore Gen Z Swiftie') as undermining authentic social bonds. Advocates for decentralized platforms where 'new forms arrive when they're needed' to support genuine community.

Article 29 Duties to Community
Medium F:limitations on expression through algorithmic design A:community norms vs. algorithmic control
Editorial

Content addresses limitations on expression and their justification. Distinguishes between community norms (which Aleksic implies can guide linguistic use in healthy ways) and algorithmic constraints (which the author critiques as unjustified and counterproductive). Notes that attempts to suppress certain speech ('death, suicide, rape, racism, rage') through algorithmic suppression simply force people to adopt euphemisms rather than change behavior. Implies that legitimate social constraints would operate through community judgment rather than algorithmic automation. Does not extensively engage with Article 29's specific limitations but implicitly critiques false justifications for constraint.

Content critiques algorithmic discrimination through categorical partitioning. Notes that The Algorithm 'groups people into smaller and smaller baskets based on interests, generations, and many other criteria' for marketing purposes. This segmentation is presented as inherently reducing individuality and freedom. The post does not explicitly frame this as discrimination but criticizes the erasure of human singularity through automated categorization.

Content implicitly addresses the social order required to enable free expression and cultural participation. Criticizes the current algorithmic social order as one where The Algorithm's commercial imperatives dominate human expression. Advocates for social infrastructure (decentralized platforms) that would enable a different social order—one where 'language grows...when new things need to be said.' Frames decentralized social media as an alternative social order aligned with human rights rather than advertising revenue.
