The author is begging the question, rather than creating a false dilemma.
Begging the question: the premise assumes the conclusion, e.g., "that's illegal because it's against the law".
False dilemma: you present two possible options as the only options, when in fact there are other alternatives, e.g., "either you're with me or against me"
