Yes and no.
Nowadays, there's a lot of violence that is predicated upon misinformation in social media platforms.
e.g. The Southport riots (UK) were fuelled by entirely fabricated and false information: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zshjs82 https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zshjs82
40 police officers were injured and 27 taken to hospital, so I would certainly classify that as violence. I don't think we should tolerate that level of misinformation designed to stir up racist hatred.
