At least in the case of Western nations it's quite accurate. The kind of censorship that Orwell feared has generally failed and with things like the internet it's pretty much impossible to stop people saying what they want. However, there's plenty of apathy and for a lot of people they're preoccupied by whatever TV show is on to care much for what's going on in politics or what they can do to change things, which is in line with what Huxley feared.

That said, there are also plenty of countries where totalitarianism has taken hold, so Orwell had a lot of legitimate fears too, just not within our Western context.
