ⓘ Big brother is watching you Cette formule ("Big Brother vous surveille") est tirée du roman de George Orwell 1984, dans lequel Big Brother personnifie l'état tout-puissant et omniprésent. Le terme "Big Brother" est entré dans la langue pour décrire tout état totalitaire, et l'expression Big Brother is watching you s'utilise souvent sur le mode humoristique à propos d'un gouvernement ou de tout autre forme d'autorité perçus comme impersonnels et envahissants.
