Hey, in Bradley's mind, the most effective totalitarian regime is one where citizens not only do not know that Big Brother is watching, but one where they are happy with Big Brother watching. He'd created the environment where most people would be just fine with trading away their freedom and privacy for an amazing utopian life where they can be and do whatever they please so long as it doesn't go against the Emperor's goals.
