- wpietri 6y agoI can't find a definition like that. Wikipedia has it as "Doublespeak is language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words." Which seems to fit perfectly for Facebook's behavior.
- pertymcpert 6y agoYou’re thinking of Doublethink from 1984.
- namdnay 6y agoAhhhh that's it, thanks!
