> If every society that embraces a right fails in a similar way

which societies, which failures, which "every" are you referring to, exactly?

it's perhaps debatable, but the European (and French) legal frameworks do not recognize hate speech as protected free speech, so I suppose the concern (e.g. in the Bardot case) is if it was hate speech or not. Americans also do not support hate speech, though perhaps the way these are handled legally are different. I don't think this kind of exception is fairly applied to discredit what I wrote.

France has a constitutional right to free speech since at least the 18th century, not sure what you mean. There is a Declaration of the Rights of Man, which is still part of France's constitution. France is also bound by the EU Convention on Human Rights. Why would you compare France to Singapore in this regard? That's strange.

I find this algorithm to have a curious definition of the word "stable."

The net effect is ultimately positive. Societies are healthier in many ways when people are free to speak their mind.

It's also known as being one of the very few first-world countries actually without basic freedoms, like free speech, freedom of the press, etc.

Not just one party, but one family.

The article also mentioned that, but I don’t understand it. Receivers are also making choices, so why do they end up with the worst match?

Isn’t exploration vs exploitation about the decision-making process, not about the actual reality in the world around you? It doesn’t matter if they are secretly identical or not. The exploration/exploitation trade-off is in the person making those decisions.

jb1991··on Gmail might partially be to blame for receiving emails from other Sean Conners
The two email addresses that you mentioned are for the same account. Google has always ignored the periods. You can actually put those periods anywhere you want. You will get all emails to all variations of that address.
