Why Choose $AMHARIC?

Exploiting TikTok

Why Amharic? It’s a low-resource language online, meaning there’s less digital text for AI to train on compared to English or Mandarin, making it a blind spot for platforms like TikTok. Plus, its distinct script looks cryptic to non-speakers, adding to its utility for this purpose. The phenomenon reflects broader issues: TikTok’s moderation struggles with non-Roman alphabets and the ingenuity of users exploiting those weaknesses.

A Trend For The Ages

The "lore" here, if we can call it that, is more of a dark meme among those in the know: Amharic as a cheat code to dodge TikTok’s rules. It’s not widely discussed as a quirky trend like some TikTok slang (e.g., "canon event" or "lore" in the Gen Z sense), but it’s a whispered reality among moderation-watchers and researchers.

AI PROOF

In the "coded" method, hate speech is directly translated into Amharic, using its unique script to obscure the content from automated moderation tools, which often struggle with low-resource languages like Amharic due to limited training data. In the "bypass" method, Amharic text is paired with hate speech in European languages (like English, Polish, or Czech), confusing the algorithms further—apparently, the presence of Amharic throws off detection even when the hateful content is in a more recognizable language.

A TACTICAL MOVE

This isn’t about Amharic’s cultural heritage or linguistic history going viral for fun or education (though TikTok does have language-learning communities). Instead, it’s a tactical move.
