Researchers having ethical standards for how they want work published and available to used by others, monitoring how others are trying to subvert those standards, and modifying their software to at least deter use... ....is not remotely like a fictitious story about employees of a propaganda office discussing changes in language and terminology approved by an autocratic, dystopian government. They're trying to casually dissuade others from things like publishing fake news stories (wherein the danger is not just the fake news itself, but that it can be generated in such quantity that it completely overwhelms all the "normal" counter.) It won't stop determined actors - but determined actors are a much smaller group and they're nearly impossible to stop anyway. Is there some equivalent to Godwin's law but for analogies to 1984?
