Every form of manipulation of people through information is a "cancer": advertising, political ideologies, religion, escapist entertainment, etc.

The problem is that truth is very hard to establish for those that don't want and don't understand logic. They're "cancers" that people want because they're comfortable with it.

Also, if we try to control these cancers by restricting what information is allowed we will create an authoritarian society.
