## Resource

Imagine a world where all information is controlled. History has been rewritten in favor of an all-controlling party. Language has been remade to eliminate subversive concepts. Your every action is monitored, and a looming threat hangs over you as a reminder of what happens if you step out of line. This is part of the image that George Orwell painted in his book, “1984.” But all of these factors are in place in the world we know today in one form or another. We have politically correct language. Certain words are off limits. Various concepts are forbidden. Private businesses and big data have already largely eliminated privacy in the digital world where much of modern life takes place. And already, we see sweeping pushes for mass censorship – an expansion of all these controls. We’re now seeing this come to the forefront in a new battle unfolding between the United States and governments throughout Europe.
