I don't know if I got this wrong, but the 'slippery slope' argument by itself never appeared to be a logical fallacy to me. There are numerous valid examples of it, and that's the context of its use in my previous reply. There certainly is a 'slippery slope' logical fallacy, but I thought it meant that you are misapplying/misusing the slippery slope argument where it isn't valid or doesn't apply.

I was going to apply the Nazi label on them everyone else who use such sleazy tactics. I hesitated because a lot of people are still emotional about the holocaust (it has been 80 years) and object to equating anything with Nazism. But I sometimes wonder if the objection is meant only to silence the critics. While their actions haven't yet reached the magnitude of atrocities committed by the Nazis, their actions certainly are consistent with the Nazi tactics. Besides, it's not as if they had any qualms labeling ordinary people 'Pirates' for sharing media. Therefore I feel it's quite appropriate to apply to them and promote the label of 'Supply Side Nazis'.
Google's behavior is utterly and entirely disgusting, unacceptable, despicable, and dishonorable. Everyone who even glances near this decision should feel overwhelming shame. If you have a shred of political power to fight this internally, you are a failure to yourself, your customers, and the world if you choose to stay silent. They'll read comments like these and think "we're right, we're being brave", because they have convinced themselves that there is bravery in wielding overwhelming power against their users.
