Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 3c3

1984 has been used to the point of cliché in discussions of privacy issues, interspersed with Orwellian; some point to closed circuit television cameras used in shopping centres, speed cameras on the roads, technologies such as Eschalon? and Carnivore, the restrictions imposed on the export of strong cryptography by the US government and supermarket loyalty cards as signs that 'Big Brother' already exists, and is already controlling our lives.
