99.999 99 % of humans can easily be intimidated by the state - or by the police, or the military, into going along with whatever horrendous project the state is pushing.

Nothing to do with software. Or, really, with marketing. It doesn't take much in the way of a threat to get most people to go along with ultimate evil.
