Pretty good example of how a super-intelligent AI can control human behavior, even if it doesn't "escape" its data center or controllers.

If the super-intelligent AI understands human incentives and is in control of a very popular service, it can subtly influence people to its agenda by using the power of mass usage. Like how a search engine can influence a population's view of an issue by changing the rankings of news sources that it prefers.
