This is a social problem and technology cannot solve this one.
If you don't solve what comes after the so-called "abundance", "UBI (doesn't work)", "utopia", "AGI" that is religiously being talked about here, it will unfortunately be paved with VaaS (violence-as-a-service).
It is a road we don't want to go down, but there are places on the internet where this is celebrated and getting normalized, ever since the UnitedHealth executive got Luigi'd.
The underlying problem in most cases (of youth violence across the world) is drug addiction. I recently spoke to someone who had to quit an overseas job and return home because his teenage son had started engaging in criminality, after a drug addiction problem at school. He was telling me how widespread the problem is, and how accessible drugs are to kids via online channels.
Denmark has no more room in its prisons. Opinions are shifting away from importing infinity third world migrants, and news media is now allowed to talk about it, but not enough to meaningfully shift votes in the last election, so it's going to be more of this for the forseeable future.
No. I mean synthetic drug addiction. I know where you're going with this, and I once supported what you're saying; but there's enough evidence now (with addictive substances) to say that accessibility is going to make things worse.
"Since 2022, the Foxtrot Network is thought to have been responsible for about 35 murders as well as a number of attacks and attempted attacks on Israeli targets in Europe including two involving explosives and hand grenades. The gang recruits teenagers to carry out the attacks for cash, but it almost never has to pay out as they often get caught.
...
The leader of the Foxtrot Network, Rawa Majid, has fled Sweden and his later operating base in Turkey, and is now based in the Iranian capital Tehran. Police believe some of the VaaS attacks have been carried out for the Iranian regime, including a hand grenade attack on the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen, though other attacks are part of Foxtrot's drugs turf wars.
...
The links to the Iranian regime started after October 2023 when Majid fled to Tehran, Salihu said.
'He had to make a deal to be able to live freely in Iran, under condition that he and his network work for the regime.'
The Foxtrot Network and Majid were sanctioned by the UK government in April 2025."
This being used unironically makes me sad.

Much of the Foxtrot Gang is associated with the PUK as much of the Kurdish community in Scandinavia is Sorani (Kirkuk-Sulaymaniyah-Kermanshah)

The issue is, vetting is hard and most countries suck at doing background checks due to a lack of staff.
> Using the messaging app Signal, he guided Natland at every stage of his journey before handing him on to a logistics man with the username "1".
The same encrypted messaging platform most people here use are also used by criminals.
This will be another reason why Europe wants to either ban Signal (not a good idea) or have Chat Control legislation. We do not want any of that.
