Orwell's term is crimethink of course. I can only think of one party that recently passed laws making it a felony to say certain things to certain people. Thankfully you're still allowed to actually hold the thoughts in your head.

No idea as to what you're referring to, but you must know many more examples throughout the world and history, no?

That's probably an US-centric comment. I have no idea what it is either, but the "one party that done X" line is a strong signal of it.

It has always been a felony to say “certain things to certain people”. See for instance fraud against the elderly.

Which certain people are you being unfairly restrained from saying what certain things to?

Looking into it I probably accepted a framing I shouldn't have.
