I hate the term "mind control". It anthropomorphises these weirdly evolved behaviours. Yes it is gross / weird / unsettling that our minds can be affected in ways they don't notice (wait till we see what humans get up to post 2060) but it is not intentional in the way we understand it.

For example we don't think Ebola intentionally causes bodies to necrotise so much they infect everyone around them but that's what happens.
