The future of relationships in government dating apps?
Private dating apps do not always help in finding a partner, as they profit from arranging meetings and it is not in their interest to match couples, but to acquire as many singles as possible.
Due to this conflict of interest, the Japanese government created a dating app that is not profit-oriented, and its goal is to genuinely help in finding a future spouse.
Users of this app must prove that they are singles and wish to get married, and furthermore document their earnings.
Some believe that the government should not be doing this, while others think that such a solution is better and safer.
