    Oh yeah, the fallacious slippery slope again. How creative and intellectual!

      If there’s anything it applies to, it’s government overreach. Look at how the TSA expanded its violation of personal privacy in the name of “security,” or how the NSA and FBI have expanded surveillance of individuals. Look at the militarization of police.

      Once you let the government ban a handful of apps, it’s going to use that new power more frequently. That’s what bureaucrats do, when you give them a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

      There are so many examples of government getting its foot in the door and steadily expanding its control. That’s what it does.
