The only direction for a repressive, authoritarian regime is a completely homogenous society. Such a society, in turn, will be filled with its own brand of supremacists.

Case in point: Germany, 1933.

Banning scams is not "repressive" and the slippery slope is ridiculous.

The slipery slope starts with starving websites of ad income[1], goes through arresting people for trolling[2] and God knows where it ends. Now in US they are trying to make companies like Facebook responsible for the content of the users[3], nevermind the new crazy EU law[4].
