Not every instance of Propaganda or Mass Surveilance warrants a 1984 reference. Very few in relation to how often it is invoked.
Newspeak is very specifically about the idea of making some ideas impossible to express. You seem to be calling Microsoft's bullshit pretty well.
(Simlarly, panopticism is about supressing expression of ideas though the threat of surveilance and subsequent repression, and going by how much political discourse has eroded, our version of surveilance capitalism doesn't seem to limit anyone from voicing their ideas, no matter how far it strays from prior social expectations of decency)

Realworldwise, Microsoft’s words bellyfeel blackwhite. Miniluv not need for ungood thinkpol – Microsoft own duckspeak does unperson wrongthink. Microsoft’s words own ungood crimethink. Plusungood.
