Tiktok ban self censorship

On Friday SCOTUS confirmed that the TikTok ban-or-sell bill passed last March is indeed constitutional. TikTok's plug is supposedly being pulled tomorrow so there's been considerable public outcry - more than when the legislation passed and more than in 2020 when the president attempted the same via executive action.

I don't care, I've long since abandoned most social media and the rest I view without a login. But since so much of the internet comes from - or is intended for - TikTok, I'm still subjected to the self-censorship and algospeak. As indicated above, I'm excited by the prospect that younger millennials and gen-z might someday untrain themselves from needing to substitute or mangle words that might make them less viral.
