Compréhension et inférence. Neil Postman résumait : Orwell craignait…

Proposition : Both fears have partly come true, yet Huxley's seems the more accurate. Outright censorship still exists — some governments do ban books and block websites, which would appear to prove Orwell right. In most democracies, however, information is not forbidden but drowned: endless feeds and autoplay videos tend to make sustained reading feel like effort. It could be argued that nobody needs to burn a book that nobody opens. Arguably, the modern threat is not the censor but the notification. (hedging : would appear to, tend to, it could be argued, arguably.)
