In the Facebook version of 1984, winston.smith would be posting pictures of himself with Julia thinking that only the proles could see them, (tastefully pixellated or with black bars over the naughty bits) and O’Brien would be circulating them round his mates because, of course, the privacy settings only apply to low level users.
An awful lot of Chipotle references.
