4. No recent reposts

We've still got a way to go before 1984. If it did happen, you wouldn't be able to discuss it.
To be fair, Google does release data to governments so I guess it's both.
We've always been at war with Eastasia.
Used to be a joke, now its a journey.
Literally 1984
Dystopia has taken over.
Who is accessing the cables/data has never been more important, it's literally the difference between being in or out of reach of the law.
