I dunno. A lot of the worst stuff this could be used for kinda pales in comparison to what's going on already by different means.
Like, if you're trying to smear someone, using big media and abusing the courts to fuck them up (say, Assange or Hale or Reality Winner) makes this look like a Fisher Price toy club next to an uzi.
If you're trying to sway an election, the big data and subtle ads (and again, big media and the courts) makes far more of a difference than this. Think Brexit, Trump 2016, the count in Florida in 2000, Diebold machines, etc.
If you're trying to topple a government / make taxpayers pay a huge bailout / start an illegal war / etc, etc, etc - this is just another small tool; the leather punching tool on a vast penknife.

Conversely, the creative potential may be larger than most suspect. To me, this feels like we're getting close to something like the holodeck in Star Trek, where people can share the fruit of their imagination with anyone for virtually no cost (IP lawyers shudder, like Lionel Hutz imagining a world without lawyers).
