And because of this instagram will remove end-to-end encryption and add age-verification
The New Mexico case also raised concerns that allowing teens to use end-to-end encryption on Instagram chats — a privacy measure that blocks anyone other than sender and receiver from viewing a conversation — could make it harder for law enforcement to catch predators. Midway through trial, Meta said it would stop supporting end-to-end-encrypted messaging on Instagram later this year.
Regarding the encryption decision, a Meta spokesperson told CNN that, “very few people were opting in to end-to-end encrypted messaging in DMs, so we’re removing this option from Instagram in the coming months. Anyone who wants to keep messaging with end-to-end encryption can easily do that on WhatsApp.”

In May, Judge Bryan Biedscheid is slated to hold a trial without a jury on the state’s claims that Meta created a public nuisance that harmed state residents’ health and safety. The state will ask Biedscheid to direct Meta to make changes to its platforms, including adding effective age verification and removing predators, it said Tuesday.

- A measure you would normally impose on convicted criminals or terrorist leaders is now being used by the U.S. against these three people:
- former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was responsible for European legislation including on social media;
- Imran Ahmed, who researches online hate, A US judge has temporarily blocked the detention of British social media campaigner Imran Ahmed, who took legal action against the US government over having his visa removed. Mr Ahmed, a US permanent resident, had warned that being detained and possibly deported would tear him away from his American wife and child. 😳;
- and Clare Melford, who maps disinformation with her organization.
- Trumps inauguration lmao

- Comment on Japan’s Birth Rate Set to Break Even the Bleakest Forecasts 3 months ago:
Birth rates usually don’t fall because people don’t want kids, but because:
- housing is too expensive
- work and family are hard to combine
- childcare isn’t well organized
- there’s too little security Countries like France and the Scandinavian nations do better:
- affordable childcare
- parental leave
- flexible work
- stable housing certainty Result: higher birth rates than Japan, Italy, Spain, and formerly Germany. If you want a “younger” society → invest structurally in good family life.
- Comment on Japan’s Birth Rate Set to Break Even the Bleakest Forecasts 3 months ago:
Japan before WWII
- high infant and child mortality
- shorter life expectancy
- many people didn’t live to old age
- there was population growth, but it was slower and much younger
So:
→ lots of children
→ many young adults
→ few elderly**Japan after WWII **
→ baby boom
→ improved healthcare- better nutrition
- rising prosperity
- vaccinations
- medical technology Japan becomes world champion in life expectancy (over 80 years on average).
→ Japan gives women more freedom to study and work. But… the system around family, work, and care barely changes.
- women can pursue careers
- but the country still expects women to:
- run the household
- raise children
- often care for in-laws
- and employers still expect:
- extremely long working hours
- almost no flexible schedules
- full-time loyalty to the company
→ Conclusion: children are discouraged
Fertility collapses + a huge adult generation (from the baby boom) From the 1970s onward, the birth rate drops dramatically due to:
- career-focused culture
- high cost of living
- marrying later
- limited childcare
- women working + conservative family structure
→ Japan falls to about 1.2 children per woman → structural population decline.
Lessons / Conclusion: Japan shows what happens when you don’t make structural changes for a long time. Too few workers + too many elderly = shortages of labor, money, and care.
Solutions
- More children (slow solution) Birth rates usually don’t fall because people don’t want kids, but because:
- housing is too expensive
- work and family are hard to combine
- childcare isn’t well organized
- there’s too little security
Countries like France and the Scandinavian nations do better:
- affordable childcare
- parental leave
- flexible work
- stable housing certainty
Result: higher birth rates than Japan, Italy, Spain, and formerly Germany. If you want a “younger” society → invest structurally in good family life.
- Raising the retirement age (helps a bit)
- Robots and automation (already implemented by Japan)
- Immigration / controlled immigration (the fastest solution)
Without immigration → extreme population decline and extreme aging.
In Europe: immigration + integration makes aging far less severe.Japan can insist “we don’t want immigration,” “we are homogeneous,” “we’ll manage through discipline,” but eventually this collides with simple math. If we want to preserve our way of life, we have to take demographic reality seriously, with better childcare, higher productivity, and controlled immigration.

“People do it all over the world.” False it should be “Uneducated people do it all over the world” Look into geography and sociology and let me know why it is that uneducated poor people usually get more children :D
