At this point, it would be malpractice to not use them given their effectiveness. That doesn't mean we can't point out the origins and continued presence from bad actors.

It's malpractice to use effective things without regard for ethics.

If you are talking about marketing or advertising, sure. If it's politics, and one side uses them and the other doesn't, you'll never win another election.

Ethics don't matter in that case.
