It's not a slippery slope, you can actually codify good definitions of "stochastic terrorism". Of course it would be misused by a right wing government but that's not really exclusive to censorship.

Yeah but was the chick in the original post committing acts of terrorism? That’s what I’m getting at. It’s stupid, but should it involve a total perma-ban? I dunno.

I actually don't think it should be punished as terrorism. I'm sorry if that was unclear but let's extend this concept if you can commit terrorism stochastically can't you also commit child abuse and harm stochastically? It's not legal to do things like tell children to eat dirt they're too stupid it's not fair, same principle should apply to advertising and disinformation IMO.
