See this as an opportunity to pick a birthday you really want.

    I wonder if there are spikes at 1980-01-01, 1990-01-01 and 2000-01-01.

    I don’t see the issue tbh, just make something up. Feed the bullshit machine with bullshit if you insist on using it.

    With the number of breaches and leaks, my chosen birthday is likely more substantiated than my actual birthday.

    This reminds me when I was applying for credit card they couldn't confirm my identity because they were on a call with me and said this number is not associated to your name in any databases.

    I got it in my name from the provider idk what other "databases" they have with names and numbers, but I'm happy I'm not there.

    I'm almost 125 years old, be having a birthday in about a week. At least as far as every "service" that has my birthday believes.

    This seems like something they're being legally required to track to "protect the children".

    And when Meta eventually locks the account for a dumb reason, recovery probably won't be possible because the account doesn't match your real birthday. It's safe to assume it's only going to get worse.

    Move away from Meta as soon as possible, ideally to some place that doesn't collect personal info uncessarily.

    If this keeps screaming 7 year olds off multi player VR games, I’m all for it.
