There's a reason why denaturalization usually only happens if you perjured your way into citizenship: it's an extremely severe action that is not meant to be a punishment, but rather to correct a mistake (according citizenship to somebody who in reality failed to meet certain criteria).

Denaturalization as punishment is something you see in totalitarian ethno-states, not democracies.

No in France you can loose your acquired nationality if you participated to terrorism against France. Was voted in the aftermath of the Paris attacks, though wasn't of much use since all the terrorists of those attacks were natives of either France or Belgium.

I wonder what happens if someone like Le Pen ever gets in charge. Being able to de-naturalize "terrorists" sounds like a pretty serious power that could be abused.

Germany allows it to, but only in case of dual citizenship and people returning from ISIS-supportive groups in foreign countries.

Mistakenly nationalized someone without the character UK citizenship demands. (EDIT: /s)
