Can you provide any sources for these? Maybe a california legislator saying they plan to do this? Or a proposed law? Otherwise it is just the slippery slope fallacy. While that doesn’t disprove what you said it does not provide a valid argument for it either.

Are you pre or post 9/11? It is very obvious that the slope is slippery.

Non-fallacious forms can also exist. It is fairly obvious that it is warranted in authoritarian regimes to expect progression (regression?).

no, i cant provide any sources because that's just what i'm assuming will happen. don't get me wrong, it is totally fair to ask for hard evidence of these claims, and the fact is, right now, that doesn't exist. but just based on my past experience with how the government likes to do things and hypothetically putting myself in their shoes, that's my, we'll call it "hypothesis", on what's gonna happen. my belief is that, at the end of the day, the government and big tech want to collect as much information about the public as they possibly can, and this is the order of operations that they are going to take to achieve that.
