Valid. Media Manipulation is the name of the game right now, but that’s so inefficient. You throw out a bunch of propaganda, and hope something gets traction.

Soon, Data Manipulation will be more important. They’ll start tracking all your date points, and soon they’ll find something they can manipulate you over. They’ll find some obscure crime to leverage you with, like a wrong statement on a Federal form interpreted as a deliberate lie, rather than a confused wrong answer. Or they’ll identify patterns, and create laws to make those patterns a crime, and get you on that.

They’ll threaten your family, job, your healthcare, your money, your home, your freedom, and they’ll eventually get you to dance to their tune.
