RightsCon 2025: Exploring Algorithmic Censorship on Online Platforms

Posted February 10, 2025 by

🚀 Attending RightsCon 2025? Join us on February 27!

Session: It’s that forkin’ h0rny AI again: AlgoSpeak and the evolution of how we talk about sex online

For SRHR practitioners, pleasure advocates, and sexuality educators, sharing information online is an uphill battle. Platforms like TikTok and Instagram censor vital content, forcing creators to use AlgoSpeak—coded language to navigate bans and shadowbanning.

This session explores how algorithmic censorship silences SRHR content, reinforces and promotes stigma, fuels misinformation, and disproportionately impacts marginalized communities. It will highlight creative ways to subvert restrictions and sustain digital advocacy.

📍Date & Time: Thursday, February 27.
11:30 AM Taipei | 4:30 AM CET | 7:30 PM PST | 10:30 PM PST
Format: Hybrid roundtable

Launch Alert: This session will also introduce Algospeak.net, a crowdsourced tool documenting how SRHR advocates keep content visible despite censorship.
