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.
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 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 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.
Lol they already know, man. They're just asking to make it feel like consent.
Oh they for sure know. I can’t imagine using anything Facebook. Eww.
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.

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.

i have you know 1/1/1900 was a perfectly cromulent year for birthing gamers

Email is such a useless service nowadays unless you block 90%
I just make new emails for only that social media site
