We don't want to see a 1984 Orwellian type situation where neighbours are reporting on neighbours.

Government by a ruler or small group of people who have unlimited power over the people in their country or state and use it unfairly and cruelly:

My thoughts upon this TED Talk : 

Well first this Talk is not like a speech, it's like a brief explanation on the word "Orwellian".
From Orwell's work, Orwellian usually stand for Authoritarian. But what it truly means is deceptive and manipulative use of languages. In nowadays modern society, social media and news are the resources that most people receive information. But we all need to pay attention on what words and phrases the article use and being careful when using words so that conflicts between people or even nations will be reduce.
