As soon as all the corrections which happened to be necessary in any particular number of The Times had been assembled and collated, that number would be reprinted, the original copy destroyed, and the corrected copy placed on the files in its stead. This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs -- to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance. Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary. In no case would it have been possible, once the deed was done, to prove that any falsification had taken place.

And people thought that it could never happen here and now:

Cabinet within weeks will introduce amendments to the Broadcasting Act, the first since 1991. Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault would not say if he will press ahead with unprecedented regulation of internet news media as broadcasters: “Do we try and change everything under the sun?”  

Also - yes, Canadian parents, let someone else do your job:

Canadian parents are resigned to children’s addiction to the internet, says a Department of Public Safety study. Researchers said parents are “fully conscious of the fact it is simply unrealistic to monitor everything their children do online”, noting wily teenagers commonly evade surveillance with dummy social media accounts: “It is impossible.”

Let the government remind you how redundant and stupid you are.
