The tin foil hatters are always told they're making slippery slope fallacies until they're proven right a few years later. Over and over again.

Sometimes. Other times they're just wrong.
Even if they're wrong, erring on the side of caution will have a net positive effect in this case.
It's like someone saying "hey this war with Iran might be based in lies, remember Iraq?" then someone saying "no its different this time" and eventually needing to backtrack.
Many try to be the voice of caution, while others are too trusting and then try to pretend they were always against <Obvious lie and trick>. Just like how getting scammed on a crypto rugpull is shameful and prevents people from speaking out, getting scammed by another obvious national security lie or walled garden lie makes folks feel like fools too.
