Death and destruction are absolutely terrible. They are not the only way to reshape or destroy a society. Like the parent comment said, the tools of mass manipulation that can be created with the data and platforms available today can have just as broad of an effect over time, if not moreso because it's invisible.

How would you convince someone of that?

Targeted ads/messages beyond very broad categories such as "business owner" or "looking for a vacation" should be made illegal. This time the law needs to safe us from technology.
