Instagram now requires everyone to tell them their birthday

The company says that it will use the data point in order to provide the appropriate content and advertising experience to different age groups.

I am not sure how I feel about this. My initial thought is that this is a privacy violation. Hmmmm...

Just lie.

If they ask for only the month and day then I will give them January 1. If they also require the year then I would give them my year of birth, but I will not provide them with the correct month and day. That’s not happening.

When asked, I will proceed as advised!
