Are they going after the 40+ dating market? Surely the dating app demographic
isn't on Facebook anymore, though maybe Facebook is still popular in the 18-30
age range in Europe? I just don't know.

In the UK its certainly not popular with the late 20's crowd. There are still
some people hanging on in there but most people seem to have (thankfully)
given up on it for anything other than messages and the occasional event.

There are various takes on that, which of course depend on values each person
(and country) considers as the most important.

In my personal opinion, Europe (in which I live) as an "Amish bias" [1], i.e.
by default being more cautious about introducing new technologies. I am
already annoyed by the constant cookie pop-ups that significantly affect my
browsing experience but on mobile.

Yes, there are risks with all technologies. But with the current mindset,
Europe is setting itself way back comparing to the USA... which is much more
cautious than China. Or in other words, Europe sets itself to be the World's
calm countryside, in which people live as they used to.

Some (maybe even the majority) may like it. Personally, I am asking myself
from time to time - when it is time to move to Asia.

Being concerned about privacy is not an Amish Bias, it means our citizens are
less likely to be abused by some tech company.

And by extension a government, see the Nazis (invoking Godwin's Law here), but
also the Snowden revelations - you can safely assume the NSA and co have
access to all data held by the big tech companies. If Trump or his even more
extreme successors decide that a certain demographic needs to be rounded up,
they can requisition a dataset from Facebook and they'd have the list of
people matching that description. Combine that with the military + the
militarization of the US' police force and you realize you're only one
