None as of yet.

But if people want to keep going with flippant accusations of Nazism in everything they see, then I suspect using this technique to abuse the witch hunt will be the natural next step.

Do you have any examples of people's "flippant accusations of Nazism in everything they see"?
Google "trump is a nazi" and take your pick of any number of Overton window nudging. It's a steady drumbeat of contortions to make the consumer of these outlets see Nazis everywhere.

Can you point to an actual example? Telling people to go google something feels like a very wimpy way of dodging requests for citations. Like saying "Go read a book".

Edit: Thanks for the edited links. I don't see how discussions about the actions and discourse of the president of the United States support your suggestion that fake Nazi-accusing videos will be used to destroy Silicon Valley careers though.
