>It doesn't seem like much of a slippery slope if it goes down then comes back up again.
once a precedent is set, a transient acceptance of the action is established as a prior act.
you don't re-cork that genie, that's the whole idea of the slippery slope argument.
forever-more when YouTube considers an action towards something it can always now be said .. "Well in the case of X we did Y."
The 'slippery slope' isn't referring to the actions committed themselves, it's referring to a pattern of acceptance and renormalization that occurs after which biases the decision-making group into further actions of a similar vein.

I do feel compelled to point out that the slippery slope argument is in fact a type of fallacy. Like, if you look up a list of fallacies there it is, the "slippery slope argument".

How has it came back up again? Are you saying that some social media site that banned Trump has since unbanned him?
It doesn't seem like much of a slippery slope if it goes down then comes back up again.
