Since the telescreens are not always being watched how will they know who to watch at what time? Will they know when the people are about to rebal? How did they decide who would be within the inner party? How do they know that the people they choose won't rebal against them?

If people know they're being watched, but not when, they will tend to behave on camera.

The real work in uncovering plotters and dissidents is done by the Thought Police, as shown by Winston having been watched for years.

Spies, secret cameras in prole areas, lots of other ways to gather information.


Will they know when the people are about to rebal? How did they decide who would be within the inner party? How do they know that the people they choose won't rebal against them?

The people will never rebel, because they have no means of concerted action.

The Inner Party is made up of the original revolutionaries that siezed power and will continue with their children.

The concept is that the people dont know when the exact time they are being watched, if they are even watched at all. The people are only told that hey are being watched, thus they tend to act as un-suspiscious as possible. Yet, who is to say that they are actually being watched?

Its not that the people know when or if the telescreens are being watched but the fact that they may. So whille being watch by these telescreens the people of oceania follow big brother . Whether they follow him through fear of being vaporized or that there just brainwashed who knows . Have people attempted to against big brother who knows they tell us in the story these people wouldbe vaporized .

As for rebeling i dont think it will happen because people either have no reason or way of doing this .
