Stochastic terrorism is a such bullshit concept, only designed to prevent examination of some political ideologies.
And apparently you can't say Pepe the Frog on HN either

> France is one of the countries with the highest levels of inequalities

France has a Gini coefficient in line with other OECD countries.

> one of the most racist countries on earth

Citation needed.

> even little girls can't be allowed into school if they display signs of muslim worship

I don't see how that's racist. No religious symbol are allowed in school, even christian cross are banned.

> many people who reside in France are denied citizenship

Why would residing in a country grant you citizenship?

There is no such thing as free health care or free education. You pay it through heavy taxation where France is the champion.
A riot is not a "coup", especially by people with no weapons. The people attacking asians are mostly not from the right wing crowd.
Isn't there a lot of calls to violence on Twitter and Facebook? Why singling out Parler, they moderate calls to violence as best as they can too.

It was never Trump's account, only a placeholder they mad in the eventuality that Trump join the platform.

Well that part is true but I don't think they choose the best way to deal with it.
Libertarians do. Though with Kamala Harris it's gonna be even worse
Look for actual polls, the belief that HCQ works and masks don't are in minority among Republicans, same with most of them having never heard of Qanon, the proud Boys or the boogaloo (which is more a meme than what was depicted in msm) These positions are inflated by the MSM to make right wingers look like crazy lunatics.
It's daughter did, not him, she said so in a post on Parler.
You don't need a separate platform for bubbles to form.
There's sufficient statistical incoherence to warrant skepticism about the US election.
Because they're not in for the money but for a space of freedom for their ideas?
There's no hate mob in Parler, they're all conservatives, why would they hate each other.
I registered to Parler because that's where my guns aficionados are going to, leaving Instagram and Facebook censorship behind.
Not elected people, not respecting the most basic of constitutional principles. Not only that, but you can't enforce your "set of principles" on billion of tweets each hour of the day, not by people at least, so you defer to bots, which are incapable of discerning what is free speech. They can't apply your principles with the discernment of a human, they can't enforce what's legal or illegal, like they can't recognize copyrighted music from public domains ones.
> We already do this as a society, so why shouldn't that extend to Twitter?

We don't do this in the US, it's called the 1st amendment.

ESR was right.
I get their ads all the time on IG, but they should have advertised it to me as open, Qt powered, and ssh friendly.
