Yeah, and the "that's a 'slippery slope' fallacy" rebuttal is often addressing something that is an actual slippery slope a lot of the time it's rolled out. Pointing out a slippery slope by itself isn't proof that the thing in question isn't real or isn't bad. Slippery slopes are real, and are quite often bad.

- ineedasername 5y agoFair points: there are instances where long term gradual changes tooks small steps each time to reach a point far from the initial step. In this particular case where there might have been (not sure it's been established definitively) a ToS violation then I don't think we're at that that point if there actually was such a violation.
