Its not just France, try all of Europe/Russia.
There's a good reason people left Europe to build new lives in Canada and USA, because they left behind the old world entrenched hatred, corruption and religious intolerance.
US may be responsible for institutionalized modern slavery with their insanity prison system, but at least you don't have mainstream political parties calling for the death of romani and jews like they do in France, Greece, Italy and Hungary.
Even the Netherlands has seen it's fair share of ultra fascist political parties that used soccer jingles to rally hooligans to their cause and beat immigrants in the streets. That these fascist parties would now use Twitter to further organize their members is not surprising but at least on Twitter there's a diaspora of people to refute their bullshit racism and scapegoating. Simply censoring it will not make it go away.
Speaking of Italy Berlusconi used Holocaust Memorial Day a few hours ago to praise the leadership of Mussolini. No I didn't make that up. That's how screwed Europe is right now.
