The fallacy is the expectation that following escalating events would arise from the event in question.
It’s only a fallacy if it’s unreasonable to expect the subsequent steps to occur or in this case, be attempted.
Does that mean it’s a guarantee, of course not, just that the fallacy doesn’t apply.
The intention or plan for escalating steps doesn’t have to be laid out perfectly to draw the parallels between this and previous similar events that were then subsequently used as foundations for greater reach.
Your reasoning around the technical implementation of such escalation isn’t applicable here (in the conversation about whether or not the fallacy applies)
If you want to argue that they won’t escalate, or it’s not possible , go right ahead, but raising a fallacy argument when it doesn’t apply isn’t a good start.
If you want i can address your arguments around implementation directly,as a seperate conversation? I don’t think you’re correct on that either, but as I said I also don’t think correctness in that subject matters in the context of the fallacy.
My interpretation was that slipery slope was more about the event in question (AC1043) being predicted to directly lead to escalation (AI/ID verification). As from you’re Wikipedia quote, “to result in the claimed effects”. I don’t see any reason to predict that this law will directly influence their decision to escalate or not. That said, perhaps its a disagreement on how much cultural influence a law like this would have, and how seperate a parent/user-managed system of age verification is from a government managed one technically.
I would be interested to hear your argument for technical implementation, however.
