Most definitely. Your enemies are counting on it. In fact, there are good reasons to believe they are mostly responsible for your current situation[1]. There's no cheaper and more effective way to do modern warfare than to psychologically manipulate your enemy's population and watch the country implode from the inside out. You even gave them the tools to do that. As for the power shift: more than likely, yes. Governments that have a tight grip on the information that reaches its population, and have already been manipulating it for their own benefit, have a higher chance of surviving than those that don't. We're already seeing signs of this, and it will only get crazier in the following decades. We're living in dark times.
