I was recently watching an episode of a Netflix series about the Cold War in the 1980s and it got me thinking. A huge part of what distinguished Britain from the Eastern Bloc was that those societies were police states. One of the markers of a police state is that laws are arbitrarily enforced; what one person can get away with another person, in particular a critic of the regime who is known for his wrong-think, cannot. Also, police states – and East Germany was notorious for this – often operate networks of undercover informants such that any random person you might talk to might be a state operative. As such, you have to be extremely careful what you say and to whom. In the world of social media, anonymous operatives gleefully scour the posts of prominent people whom they dislike in search of anything that might be worth reporting to Britain’s politicised police.
