If you are going to accept a government issued camera, take it home, set it up in your bedroom and connect it to the Internet on a government issued account, how can you object when the government turns the stupid thing on?

'Smith!' screamed the shrewish voice from the telescreen. '6079 Smith W.! Yes, you! Bend lower, please! You can do better than that. You're not trying. Lower, please! That's better, comrade. Now stand at ease, the whole squad, and watch me.'
(1984)

The difference being that in Oceana, INGSOC forced every member of the Party to have a Telescreen in their room. If you so much as tried to turn it off, you were disappeared...

These morons are accepting their Telescreens voluntarily.
