  They’ll just block that too. Can’t have a full blown dictatorship without taking away any freedom people have. Better not have a negative opinion about it either.

  Holy Fuck 1984 was a warning, not a fucking manual on how to do things.

      It was a warning against authoritarians. 1984 was inspired by his time conscripted into the propaganda service during world war 2 and his negative experiences with the soviets fighting alongside them in Spain. It was a warning against both fascists and authoritarian communists

  Im guessing they’ll make it illegal for users to try to bypass the restriction.
