Could?
Online propaganda has literally killed millions of people already.
I have yet to see someone directly die from online propoganda that wasn't basically suicide.
Did you miss COVID?
that was a virus killing people, the propaganda just increased the rate of spread and had idiots taking ivermectin.
The propaganda caused people not to wear masks or otherwise prevent transmission before a vaccine was available. In a world without this propaganda, more people would be alive today - both the idiots that believed it, but also the innocents whose deaths they caused.
i don't think they'll be satisfied with anything short of "the words rose up off the screen and physically murdered a person".
