There is no "creep" to be found here, this is just the direct consequence of casually endorsing the kinds of ideologies like "the internet is fundamentally bad and we should restrict children from social media".

There is no slippery slope here, we already dived off the cliff it is just idiots are now beginning to realize they were cheering for jumping off of a literal cliff.
