Oh they for sure know. I can’t imagine using anything Facebook. Eww.
it feels like sharing a needle on the streets...
Sleazy guy at the bar says...
Edit: anyway, your birthday is 1 Jan 1970.
Damn, it would be cool to have been born at 0 Unix Time.
Statistically, there might be somebody. And there's a small crowd worth of people who possibly were, to within the minute.
On average there are 4.3 births per second, I'm not sure how that compares to in 1970 but its probably still more than 1 so its quite likely someone was born exactly on unix time 0.
This is like slashdot where people got so excited about a tree digit number.
Exactly.
Thank you for supplying your birthday, please upload a copy of three photographic government identification documents.
Feb 29, 1980
Why 1980 specifically?

Cmon bro, just one more datum. That's all we need. One little piece of data and that's it. Cmon, please?
Please tell us your birthday
Please tell us your birthday

Honestly, it might not be a terrible idea to give them a bogus date, if you're concerned about privacy and want to encourage poisoning data that data-miners are using.
If they require some sort of actual validation, like an ID document, then I get you.
Yeah, give a date you'll remember that isn't related to anything personal to you and yours. Something like April Fools, May the Fourth be with you, etc.
I remember reading someone on some service...maybe it was Steam?...saying that some wildly disproportionate percentage of their users had January 1 as their birthday. As in, people didn't even want to bother setting the month and day, which defaulted to January 1, just cranked the year back to whatever was required to avoid age-restriction hurdles.
i have you know 1/1/1900 was a perfectly cromulent year for birthing gamers
I wish they wrote down the date somewhere and don't ask me again (probably they don't want so don't need to bother with storing sensitive privacy data)
But I registered in 2008, at this point they can assume I'm at least 18, no?
Yep. My take is to always give some random data, if it isn't official stuff.
They sell/use that data to show you more convincing lies ("relevant ads")? Then there's no issue if you lie too.
I'll tell you someone else's birthday to make you shut up.

Facebook/"Meta" account exists
Disgusting.
I finally got around to deleting my account. Put in the request a month ago, and today is the day that they said it would actually be deleted. Since they give a month just in case you wanna abort. Today is a good day, but I should have done it 5 years ago.
It should have been a long time ago yes- ??better half a decade late then never??

I'd respond with the Low Tier God meme
Email is such a useless service nowadays unless you block 90%
don't give it out, use aliases when needed, switch from clear email providers who don't data mine it.
I just make new emails for only that social media site
