Ahhh! Some nice, light, and happy thoughts for the evening! Thanks James.

Anyway, yeah, very few people are aware of this, and talking about this. That's because it's the epitome of paranoia. It's true, in my opinion, but it's a concept only acceptable to the most awake of the awake. Not even intermediate-level conscious truthers (or whatever you want to call them) can handle the idea that thoughts themselves will soon be censored and manipulated.
I worked in psychiatry for years, and such a theory regularly got people committed, locked up, and medicated against their wishes. Nowadays we can speak of it openly, with just the occasional sneer or muttered "nutjob" from the general public. But yes, as you've noted, very few people are fully aware of the problem of thought control and mind manipulation. Astute of you to notice! ;P
