Website: Vocabulary Index Algospeak

An Informative Online Index We live in a world increasingly influenced by search engine-optimized and biased algorithms. Content often faces shadow banning or censorship due to the opaque nature of algorithms, which are often fed biased data, particularly when addressing issues of race, gender, class, or sexuality. This results in the emergence of a new, transient language phenomenon known as algospeak, which circumvents the restrictions imposed by discriminatory algorithms. This interactive web index provides a list of shadow-banned and censored words identified by the algorithm as problematic. The vocabulary index compiles words from search engines such as Google and Amazon, as well as from social media platforms like TikTok and YouTube. (website, 2022)
