I can't tell if you are serious but what you say has some truth. It may not be the Big Brother of literature but that will come later. Right now they just want to sell you things. But then consumerism is an element of Big Brother as are sports, tv of a sort, nationalism, and of course...perpetual war. Very few characters in 1984 actually knew they were part of a dystopian society
Very few people realize we live in what is very close to an Oligarchic society.

Also, if you're worried about your privacy on the web avoid Chrome (browser), Gmail (email provider) and in general most of the services provided by Google.
Hope this helps
Those are good but create problems of their own unless you take the time to set them up properly and then they still are to an extent.
And Fooze...yes that Google search is almost comical sometimes.
You can search for something and the sponsored/tailored ads will give you some odd results.
