Literally anything like this (a tactic, etc) can be misused… but we have them anyway and use them because they are effective. If anything you can measure their success by how they are appropriated - see things like civil rights language being appropriated by white supremacists - they adopted that language of rights, because it works. I don’t think the possibility of misuse is a good argument for not using a tactic, frankly.
