    TikTok and Instagram are very picky about language and will algorithmically suppress you if you use words they deem to be “brand-risky.” As a response we now have people on social media training themselves to cover up letters in perfectly normal words, say “unalive” instead of “die/kill,” etc.

      don’t forget the creativity like “deleted from the census” or “bought the farm” or “bit the dust”, etc. There is a poetry to avoiding a filter.
