> Controlling human thought at scale can be useful though. It stops my 8-y/o from watching what he shouldn't.

Surely what you actually want is categorising of human thought at scale, and then you deciding which categories of ideas are suitable for your 8-y/o to be exposed to (and which categories of ideas you are comfortable being exposed to).

Allowing a few entities to control human thought at scale is likely to produce a world that is bad for everyone, including 8-y/o's.
