    FUCK THERE IS A WHOLE LOT OF STUPID USING LINUX. Lots of tin foil hat wearing morons making mountains out of molehills.There was no age verification support added. All that happened is a DOB field was put in so people can add their date of birth IF THEY CHOOSE TO so it can appear in their user account. It isn’t uploaded to anyone, it’s not checked by anyone, it is not mandatory to complete and you can leave the field blank.

      Hard disagree. This represents the pot getting turned up on the frog.

      I acknowledge you are factually correct. However, once this field exists, it enables later reference and/or mandatory dependencies.

      There is no positive use case , but lots of possibly negative use cases. For that reason, it shouldn’t exist.
