Winston Smith Revisits?


"In the Ministry of Truth, Mr. Smith cleans up the facts, altering and destroying "every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance." Our current Ministry of Truth is cleaning up too...
Criterion and Process for Removing Old Content from www.ed.gov

" a justification for removing content is not just that it is out of date or a duplicate of other materials but that it runs counter to current administration priorities ... [and] does not reflect the priorities, philosophies or goals of the present administration."

It has been estimated that, using these criteria, up to 13,000 documents of the total 50,000 items on www.ed.gov will be deleted unless they meet five criteria, two of which specifically involve support for administration priorities and initiatives and consistency with administration philosophy.
