HCO Bulletin of April 11, 1982

"IMPOSED SILENCE: [emphasis added] The simplest and most common
implant -- and its lightest but not least deadly form -- is the
command to withhold. Implants could be said to be "methods of
preventing knowledge or communication" and this can extend to
the point of the person himself denying himself the data. The
commonest "imposed silence" is probably the threatened child --
an "if you tell, you will be punished." Or simply ordering him
not to tell. This tends to occlude his own memory and can be
classified as an implant."
