If arbitrarily altered personal files are not Orwellian enough for you, consider the alteration of history. The photo shows a comment made by Carl Brannen at Researchgate three years ago.
Only, this is not the comment that Carl made three years ago. The content of the comment is not particularly important to anyone except me, but when I first looked at it a few days ago, it referred to all my vixra papers, not just the short ugly one from 2007. A small, harmless alteration, Big Brother?
Big Brother has been doing this a lot. He feels safe altering historical comments on any website whatsoever, because most people will never notice, and when they do they can be accused of having imagined it due to mental health problems.
Well, Big Sister has news for you, Big Brother. Now that you have destroyed so many millions of lives this way, and people are watching you, you will be caught. It is only a matter of time. Of course, the possible alteration of such stories themselves is a potential obstacle for whistleblowers, but we will find a way eventually.
