I agree completely. In military parlance it's called "softening the blow". People who say "this is a slippery slope fallacy" simply aren't paying attention. Look at Europe and Australia passing all kinds of laws to have social media spying on everyone. It can happen. In the USA Texas just passed a law to spy on women who are getting abortion and trying to limit free speech about it in an attempt to push most of the policing off to private citizens like in Handmaid's Tale. It's insane that people can't see threats on democracy and liberty from all these angles.
