    Oh surely all the existing results from the current implementations of dating apps would dissuade them… then again…

      Well, private apps have the goal of keeping you as a client, you getting married and making kids doesn’t help with that. I’m not sure if the efforts from the Japanese government are worth the squeeze with this particular idea but I can see how a public app would have different objectives and thus potentially different results.
