As an old codger there are aspects of modern life that do not touch me. Listening to the Podcast The Digital Human, Series 29, the episode titled Dialogue. I had the scales removed from my eyes concerning an aspect of modern life that I have endeavored to avoid. The world of TikTok and similar fringe areas of Social Media. Aleks Krotoski in this episode discusses how Algorithms control the Dialogue on social media and how various marginal groups have developed their own form of dialogue to circumvent the demands of the Advertisers to exclude certain words, phrases and forms of communication. AI censorship is being circumvented by the use of ingeniously composed hash tags and forms of code in what is described as Algospeak.
