Sometimes there really is a slope, and is really is slippery. The fact
that a blacklist of internet websites exist and that it must be kept
secret because "the government can't publish a list of pedopornographic
websites" is closer to a ski track than a slippery slope. Wasn't it in
Australia that it was shown that 95% of the websites on the block list
were not pedopornographic websites ?

The slippery slope argument is used abusively in many cases, but in the
present case where a legal disposition is proposed with all the legal
tools to secretly extend it far wider than its scope, it is really a
usable argument.
