i donāt think newspeak is a good term for it, that implies an authority is forcing specific language onto people to limit their communications
whatās happening is the precise opposite, people are inventing new language to keep communicating the same things despite being censored, itās the exact same thing that happened in hong kong with the chinese censorship.
Thatās a good point! Iāve always heard it referred to as newspeak, but there is indeed a small but important distinction between the two.
The end result is similar, but the way there is the opposite (blocking vs enforcing)
I think comparing it to newspeak is still a good warning however, as they are caused by similar pressures applied in different ways, but algospeak is the more accurate term.
