Can you give us an example of the kind of phase you're talking about?

does it thouuuugh?

I understand that references to 1984 are meant to convey an aversion to the potential of government surveillance, unavoidable totalitarian control, and a society that exists far after this has already occurred

but there aren't any phrases in that 73 year old book like that, kind of overused and dilutive

Just because the bad guys already has some power doesn’t mean we should be making things even easier for them.

Maybe they meant it more as a comparison to Winston's living situation and how he had to stand in one corner to not be seen if I remember correctly. The very first thing I thought of when I read through this here was how I might be less safe from observation by the government with this. And I'm really no anti or even small government type yet it's the first thing that came to mind.

It takes one person (somewhere between invention and extinction) to flip that switch.

I'm fairly convinced drone technology is a bad idea for the very same reason.
