"All IP addresses owned or operated by the Church of Scientology and its associates, broadly interpreted, are to be blocked as if they were open proxies."
Is that still in effect? If so, whatever slippery slope there is, has already been begun.
The obvious difference here being this was a ban of IP addresses owned by a particular organization, not the people behind it
I guess I've interpreted "its associates, broadly interpreted" too broadly :). Seriously, how is "its associates, broadly interpreted" supposed to be interpreted?
In any case, yes, there's a difference. But there's always a difference between the beginning of a slippery slope and the end of it. That's the whole point of a slippery slope.
