Given the conext of its use and the lack of mention of Big Brother I would

murfling is Orwellian. Its a nice way of saying censored.

Nice try, but you might want to actually read Orwell before you start using him
to back you up. Doublespeak does not refer to the simple use of euphamism. To
qualify as doublespeak, a phrase must use words in a disingenuous way to imply
their opposite. War is Peace or Compassionate Conservatism for example.
In this case, the term murfle is very descriptive of what is going on - the
words are muffled, but you can still make them out if you want to expend the
extra effort. If Todd had used a word like emphasizing or underscoring or
spotlighting then I might see your point.
I would argue that murfle isnt even a euphamism for censorship because,
as Ive already pointed out, it is describing something that is many degrees shy
of censorship. Is pink a euphamism for red? No, it is a different word
describing a different (if somewhat similar) concept.
