If you perceive tolerance as a peace treaty rather than a moral precept, then the paradox of tolerance disappears.

You don't have to tolerate the intolerant, and the people running the app stores are free to make their choices of who they allow into the store.

If you want to be associated with fascists and racists, that is up to you, but you will not be welcome in civilised places. You can always run your own app store which allows those groups.

It is because I perceive tolerance as a peace treaty rather than a moral precept that I disagree with your conclusion.

Stop disturbing the peace.

You do realize that the hallmark of fascism is to reject any who do not subscribe to the preferred ideology, right?

I mean grasp the irony.

Do you reject the people who think it is ok to beat others up if they talk back to them?

That hallmark does not stand up to many examples. Being strictly against another ideology is not really the definition of fascism.
