I see 4 paths for the end of the Iron Age, which path that'll happen only the Norns know for certain.
1. Wars & Imperium: As Iron mines become harder to access for steel manufacturing, it is highly probable that resource wars could result, as colonization of Iron rich locales bring about new Empires or nuclear war.
2. Space Colonization: Asteroids and the planet of Mars are extremely rich in metallic Iron. However, there is a one century wide window to do this. It'll continue "the Iron age" but in space as opposed to on Earth.
3. New Metallic Age: If we move away from Steel and find a comparable replacement, the Iron Age will still end, but a new metallic Age will begin.
4. Civilizational Collapse: Procrastination is the most predictable of responses. If procrastination happens and none of the other options occur because, "we have 120ish years so chill and not my problem" civilization as we know it will fade away. This by necessity will revive the Old Pagan Faith and Ways.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been a driving force in markets for the past few weeks. This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children. On December 23rd, 2020, Pavel Durov posted to his channel that the company would need to start generating revenue. In early 2021, he added that any advertising on the platform would not use user data for targeting, and that it would be focused on “large one-to-many channels.” He pledged that ads would be “non-intrusive” and that most users would simply not notice any change. Under the Sebi Act, the regulator has the power to carry out search and seizure of books, registers, documents including electronics and digital devices from any person associated with the securities market. In 2014, Pavel Durov fled the country after allies of the Kremlin took control of the social networking site most know just as VK. Russia's intelligence agency had asked Durov to turn over the data of anti-Kremlin protesters. Durov refused to do so.
