Storing a users birthday is useful metadata anyway. I’m surprised it wasn’t stored before.

The age isn’t verified is any way. You can set it to the 1800s for all it cares

How is that useful information? To what purpose?
  • Congratulate the user on their birthday.
  • recommend age appropriate software for communication, learning and games.
  • statistics on the demographics of the user base
Don’t forget the personalized ads! 🫠
