Summary :

Orwell's 1984 warned of Big Brother (and the ministry of truth) watching and controlling people. (Surveillance State).

Big Brother is a fictional character and symbol in George Orwell's dystopian 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.
He is ostensibly the leader of Oceania, a totalitarian state wherein the ruling party, Ingsoc (English Socialism), wields total power "for its own sake" over the inhabitants.
In the society that Orwell describes, every citizen is under constant surveillance by the authorities, mainly by telescreens (with the exception of the Proles).
The people are constantly reminded of this by the slogan "Big Brother is watching you": a maxim that is ubiquitously on display.

Thus, people equate Big Brother not with the leader, but with the monitoring.

While this was a warning by the Socialist George Orwell, it has often been used by the far left as a game-plan to control the public.

The Biden Administration created their Ministry of Truth (which means the opposite) to defend the public from free speech (and Musk's acquisition of Twitter). They appointed a far-left Nina Jankowicz, with a history of disinformation, to play the role of Big Sister / Karen of truth, and decide what is disinformation.
