Authoritarians learned that 1984-style totalitarian control doesn't work anymore; so they tried Brave New World's control through psychological pleasure, and it is more successful than ever imagined.

Really it’s a mixture of both. Brave New World to keep the masses sedated, 1984 for the people who start to question the system.
