You're just restating the basic slippery slope argument.

  I wasn't. See also: common carriers and the protections and expectations that go with that.

  Again: this is not "slippery slope" as Cloudflare is already at the bottom of the slope. I will implore you, as well, to actually pay attention to the facts of the situation--one that includes an active case playing out right now in court--as opposed to trying to knee-jerk your way to a victory by playing Internet argument fallacy cards. I realize that you are probably very used to people making this argument just assuming the conclusion: I do not in general (and have been going around giving talks about the failure of centralization from the perspective of "let's be very careful to not theorize and only look at concrete situations that have already come to pass") and have not done that here either (instead, I showed why this scenario is the same as the one being played out with the same actor--Cloudflare--for which we already know the conclusion: they are in court, right now, getting beaten up over blocking a site and are furiously backpedaling).

  I don't see why the slipery slope argument is to be rejected. If you walk on the edge of a cliff, it's a good thing to realize falling is part of the risk.
