It is just a field. What it contains, if anything at all, is irrelevant.

Every step towards making people feel at ease giving personal information away, makes the next one easier.

It's not a fallacy if it's an actual slippery slope.

I'm sure you think you're smart dropping a short, "insightful" three word post. But you might have missed the constant falling down we've been having in every possible places these last few years. It's not a fallacy when it turns out to be a series of fulfilled plans.
