For good or bad?

There are lots of good and bad things about the efforts here; there is no doubt that these tools and techniques can be on the immoral side if used incorrectly.  Social disruptions-as-weapons are like bullets-- it depends on why they are used-- and I can fully imagine a world where the intentional state-to-state social disruption will be viewed as at least a violent act.  There were plenty of comments in this vein at this Wired article.
