Um, excuse me... I am not "very literal in my thinking." I am not attacking your reasoning skills, and I would appreciate the same respect for my opinion.

The whole point of 1984 is that it's about a big-brother government. Governments hold power over people that private corporations do not. I am not saying that corporations can never be intrusive, but individual corporations simply do not have the type of power that a government does.

Yes, I get that Amazon was intrusive. It's still not a government. You can choose never to deal with Amazon again, if you want to. Good luck trying that with a government.
