And in marketing we do manipulation all the time. Usually some positive goal in mind. We are doing manipulation in here right now, I am trying to affect your mind, dude. And you are trying to affect the rest of us. And the stuff what I do? Well.. for example running A/B test to see the effects of different content; that is essentially manipulation and studying the effects. Just what FB did.
