That's a good point! I've always heard it referred to as newspeak, but there is indeed a small but important distinction between the two.
The end result is similar, but the way there is the opposite (blocking vs enforcing)
I think comparing it to newspeak is still a good warning however, as they are caused by similar pressures applied in different ways, but algospeak is the more accurate term.
I like the 0 tap approach of gboard, I can switch between English and French within the same sentence (known as frenglish)
Has anyone noticed gboard randomly closes now on Pixel 9? Can't find info about this issue anywhere.
What you're referring to is a recent trend of social media platforms enforcing a wordlist ban, causing people to resort to using "newspeak", coined from the book 1984.
Newspeak was a language where negative words were not allowed. You can literally see it on platforms like TikTok, where people say "unalive" instead of "kill", "seggs" instead of "sex", or "oui'd" instead of "weed".
Aren't PDFs compressed? Doesn't that mean we could turn a PDF into a ZIP bomb?

I believe it has to be declared on the packing manifest, but it relies on the expeditor being truthful. That's my understanding of it.
I don't think it's about the place of manufacture, but rather the place of origin. A lot of items are manufactured all over the place.
Any time an eligible item crosses the US / Canada border, a 25% tariff is applied. This is how the US does it, so this is what the Canadian government is copying.
This is terrible for auto manufacturing, where various parts cross the border multiple times between raw materials, loose parts, assembled parts and assembled vehicle. Every time those parts or materials cross either border, it gets tariffed 25%.
I believe if your item comes from the US, lands in another country, gets re-labeled and then enters Canada, it won't be tariffed, but don't quote me on that.

This "solution" is fucking stupid. Customers are getting sent a warning label.

Thank you, I wasn't aware of this term!
