    A publicly-owned dating app shouldn’t have these issues.

    If someone’s job inside that company, even publicly owned, depends on the amount of users, they are incentivized to do all the same things. And publicly-owned companies too try to be kinda profitable sometimes. There’s also corruption.

    EDIT:

    I just hope Japan is a country that takes privacy and security seriously.

    Governments don’t.

      Governments are incentivized to match people to combat declining birth rates. Lower birth rates means fewer productive people to support an aging population. It’s also loss in taxes.

        Governments have no incentives. People working in them have some. Having more youngsters questioning what they are doing, working and thus not relying on aid, may be less convenient than all those old people living on pensions voting for something stupid.

          Governments have no incentives. People working in them have some.

          By this logic, companies also aren’t incentivised to do anything, just the people working in them.

          Governments do have incentives. Saying they don’t is absurd.

            Correct. Companies are not. And what they do makes sense if you look at it this way. You could even notice how this reinforces the leftist positions on economics popular here, if your thinking were just a bit more agile.

            Saying they don’t is absurd.

            This is not very persuasive and seems to lack any elaboration of how would that work. From the ground up, like every good elaboration does.

            Governments do have incentives.

            Which ones then? I’m certain I’ll be able to disprove any of them.

              No, not correct, because your take is insane.

              Of course governments, companies, and other institutions have incentives. Maybe if your thinking we’re just a bit more agile (translation: if you were a bit less stupid), you’d recognise that.

                A structure of humans does not possess the same traits as a human. Are you going to argue with that?

                Insults can’t fix your inability to reason.

                I don’t see any arguments from you to recognize. “Of course” is not one, just like “I assure you”, and “your take is insane” is the same. Shouldn’t have considered Star Trek a smart show in your childhood, judging by the nickname.

                  It’s not even worth explaining because it’s so obvious that they do. If you said that eating chicken raw is good for you I also wouldn’t bother explaining why that’s not true. I’d just call it out as nonsense.

                  You insulted me first, dipshit. Quit advertising to the world how stupid you are. I don’t know what kind of brainrot you’re experiencing, but you should get it looked at.

                  You’re honestly arguing that companies aren’t incentivised to do things like make profit? Or retain employees? You are brain-dead lmao

                    Do you think tone makes for an argument?

                    You’re honestly arguing that companies aren’t incentivised to do things like make profit? Or retain employees?

                    Companies don’t think and thus don’t have incentives.

                    You are brain-dead lmao

                    Just go away. Another confirmation that identifying with something Star Trek connected usually marks an idiot.
