What you said is called the slippery slope fallacy. Just saying.

It may be a fallacy to assert that it will happen, but it's entirely logical to observe that the current developments make that eventuality more likely.

Slippery slope goes both ways.

What if giving platforms to Sandy Hook Truthers enable them to recruit more and more crazy people, who would do more crazy things than just making videos, for example, actually seeking out victims of Sandy Hook and harassing them?

...Oh wait.

Slippery slopes are possible, it’s only a fallacy because a slippery slope isn’t a logical proof. Just like an appeal to authority isn’t a proof but can still lend support to an idea.
