I'm suspect you're being a little optimistic. Although there is a
small niche for socially positive influence campaigns the overwhelming
function of "necessary psyops" has been for the powerful to make sure
their "warcrimes" remain hidden from the world.
Sadly, I think many of us are still carrying a working model of social
media as a "peoples' tool" from the Arab Spring. There are plenty of
places in the world today where you can see that's been suppressed,
recruited and inverted by those in power.
If we want technology to reduce evil in the world then we need to
redouble our efforts.
