In [this whistleblowing post](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/c1mmq6/hong_kong_police_arrested_protesters_after/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app) that talks about arrests being made to hospitalized protesters in Hong Kong through a backdoor, someone in the comments [states that big brother is watching](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/c1mmq6/hong_kong_police_arrested_protesters_after/erebzcb/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app). Can someone explain who or what this big brother figure is like I’m five?
