#2I honestly thought this was a phishing attempt. There doesn't seem to be a way to enter these data via the website, only the email link.

#3Does ANYBODY EVER provide an accurate response to a question like that (except when there's reason to believe they can detect it and do something to your detriment if you lie)?
If so, why?
Anybody who asks deserves to be chaffed into oblivion with garbage data.
Especially, who would be dumb enough to admit to being under 18, or, worse, under 13? An 8 year old should see the obvious reasons not to do that. A bright 6 year old.
I used to lie and say I was really old, but now I'm really old so I just lie at random.

I remember playing Leisure Suit Larry at 8 or 9 years old. They'd test you to make sure you were over 18 but if you said you were over 99, it would just reply "No you're not" and boot you. I don't remember what they'd do if you said you were under 18, I don't know if I was dumb enough to ever try it once.

#6Good for them, I "pirate" content legally since I pay huge fees in Czechia from each storage media (last time I bought 64GB flashdrive, the copyright fees were more than cost of the flash drive), so I can legally download copy of any movie, TV show or music for my own use.
Pahe in India, Philipines, PSA on PM, MKVking and plenty of other options to download legally content even without torrenting.

Yah I used to type 1911, but its interesting just how old some sites allow you to be. Some places can't even deal with 100 year olds (which isn't that uncommon) while others allow you to be 150+.
Presumably some places appear to just be doing todays date-120/130 years. So its possible to create an account that likely won't be able to revalidate ones birthday using their age validators in a few years unless they adjust the age because you will be over what they think is the max age.

Depending on the site if they are gonna use it as verification in the future. Im not gonna remember the randomly entered date.
Its not like you can identify 87% of the US based on Date of birth, 5 digit Zip Code and gender. Oh wait. https://dataprivacylab.org/projects/identifiability/index.ht...

#9Tiktok asked for my birthday and I couldn't navigate away from the page. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app to try and circumvent entering a birthday. They banned my account.
This account was active for 2+ years and they out of the blue REQUIRED a birthday like wth.

Does that mean you give real answers to the other "password recovery" questions?
"Verification" questions should get random answers that get saved in your password manager.
