      Adapting language to bypass censorship is very much not Newspeak

      It’s quite literally the opposite of Newspeak, an artificial language designed to constrict speech and prevent the spread of complex ideas.

        Adapting language to bypass censorship is one of the dictionary definitions of Newspeak, a form of circumlocution.
