“algospeak” is a form of encrypted language that allows you to bypass algorithm moderation. Internet users have been using modified words and symbols to discuss taboo subjects.

The “sunflower” emoji has, for example, been used many times on TikTok to talk about the war in Ukraine. This linguistic ruse is also taken up by sex workers, long censored by the moderation systems of social networks. Many use the phrase "nip nops" rather than "nipples" and instead of "sex" some will write "seggs" or "segs"
