If, and I do stress if applications require it filled out, there are simply going to be an awful lot of epoch birthdates in their data. And frankly a lot of people, myself included, who will step up and write replacements to these applications in order to give a giant middle finger to authoritarian governments/companies as a result.
It's very mild this, and as it has no 'verification', it's just a meaningless string of numbers.
