'Algospeak' is the coded vocabulary internet users invent to evade social-media content moderation algorithms — words like 'unalive' instead of 'kill/die', 'corn' instead of 'porn', 'le dollar bean' instead of 'lesbian'. The idea is to discuss banned or restricted topics without being suppressed. If your teen uses algospeak, they are navigating platform restrictions. Worth a calm conversation about what topics they feel they have to code around — sometimes the topics matter (mental health, abuse) and they could use real-world support.
