Otherwise it is just the slippery slope fallacy.

What do you think their intentions are, and why?

    The intentions for the law?

    AB 1043 offers a scalable, privacy-first approach that helps keep kids safe while holding tech companies accountable.

    -Assemblymember Wicks

    This ia a quote directly from the author of the bill link for reference.

    Now of course the obvious question many people might ask is "are they being truthful?" But that is a question that people will have to answer for themselves.

    Yes that is a large part of what I meant by what are their intentions. If you can reasonably conclude that their that their intended goal will probably involve progressively restricting this area of legislation (whether through implications from their statements or the possibility of them not being truthful), then it is not a slippery slope fallacy.
