Social media algorithms are leading to the creation of new words,
new accents, and even new identities. And while using the apps may
seem like a fun, trivial way to waste time, they’re actually having
a profound impact on how we communicate — and on our our
democracy. To find out more, Kara talks to Adam Aleksic, a
24-year-old Harvard-educated linguist and social media influencer,
and the author of Algospeak: How Social Media Is Transforming the
Future of Language. They discuss the way new words, communities,
and identities develop on social media apps; the financial motives
and incentive structures underlying the algorithms; the mechanisms
through which they shape user behavior; and how they ends up
impacting our culture and politics. Questions? Comments?
