Singapore launches government dating app as birth rate plunges

What the coverage shows

Both outlets cover Singapore’s government entering dating app territory, but the framing differs. The Washington Post places the app in a broader picture of a hands-on state that also helps with housing, health care, marriage, children and retirement. The Register is alone in stressing the technology angle, with its extract joking about “algorithmic matchmaking” and linking the effort to the team behind Bluetooth COVID tracking.
