.... also, every motion anyone made could be seen by the telescreens that were like two-way TVs. Anyone who showed any discontent or disapproval towards the Party was seen or heard, and taken to Ministry of Love, which concerned itself with law and order. No one knew what happened in the Ministry of Love, but people who were taken there most often disappeared. Their very existence falsified by the Ministry of Truth.
