TV stations clocking off at midnight and not starting up until about 5 am.

Getting fined for not rewinding a rented VHS.

Wanting to communicate so sending a fax.

Freedom of speech
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.
