TikTok gets people's ideas in front of other people. That's a printing press.

Cocaine has low calories, reduces appetite, and increases metabolic activity. That's a weight-loss supplement.

I unironically agree with both of you. William Randolf hearst was a thing, and the Catholic church definitely saw Martin Luther as a vile propagandist
Also cocaine and cigarettes definitely squelch your appetite and have historically been medically prescribed for such... It's just that we don't today
If you must, this is like destroying foreign radio towers or something, where those radio towers have the ability to algorithmically predict what people want to listen to and then generate content tuned to affecting their state of mind, what they believe, and so on. So, yeah, blow 'em up.
