Think of all the mischief we can (and have) come up with computers and the Internet. Imagination and coffee is our only real limitation at this point. When nanotech translates this capability to the physical world, things are going to get bumpy.
Many interpret "the People" in the Second Amendment corporately, not individually, and argue that it is satisfied by an armed National Guard, organized by each state. However, when "The People" is used in the other 9 Amendments in the Bill of Rights, don't we interpret those rights individually, not corporately? No one would argue that an uncensored state news agency satisfies the 1st Amendment.
