There's his trend on social media of using code words for different
topics so you can trick the algorithm from categorizing your
content in a certain way. What do you think? Is this a form of

seeing too much violent or aggressive content? Well, whatever side
of the debate you fall on, Code Switch's B.A. Parker and Gene Demby
are going to show you how this so-called ALGO-speak or
algorithm-speak shapes your beliefs in conscious and unconscious
ways.
