  First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
  Because I was not a Socialist.

  Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
  Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

  Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
  Because I was not a Jew.

  Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Or in this case, maybe it should be:

  First they came for the firearms, and I did not speak out—
  Because I did not like firearms

  Then they came for the sex workers and I did not speak out—
  Because I was not a sex worker (or used them)

  Then they came for something I cared about and there was no one left to speak for me.

Thats the thing about the slippery slope. Restrictions start with things many people find objectionable and then slowly ratchet up to cover more mainstream things.

Then they came for something I cared about and I went to the video sharing website the gun and porn people set up.

This isn't government oppression, there will be alternates to the services offered.

Video hosting is a natural monopoly. It costs so much to store and stream videos, combined with the network effect means its incredibly difficult for effective competition. I hope that you are right that natural competitors will show up, but like a facebook competitor I suspect we will be waiting for a long time.
