It doesn't exist in English Wikipedia. If you find this weird, my guess is this acronym must have gotten more (mainstream?) attention in Germany (despite being in English).
I've never heard of it and I don't think it's common where I am (Canada). Sometimes people coin terms and they get picked up in some places, but not others.
When I lived in Germany and the Netherlands, it was often surprising to me which foreign terms/concepts/artists get elevated to mainstream relevance. There's a lot of imported culture from English speaking countries, but it's through a specific filter.
Here's an English source from the article you shared though: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/27/jaron-lanier-six-reasons-why-social-media-is-a-bummer https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/27/jaron-lan...
