Dangerous to whom?
Not to those in power.
It’s precisely because it’s dangerous that it is so popular; the masses love the idea of their ‘enemies’ being muzzled.
The pernicious aspect is not that people fail to recognize the danger; it’s that they fail to see those in power aren’t actually on their side.
