This feels very much like giving the site information that it doesn't need. There should just be an "18+" box to tick (or whatever the highest age limit is). Though I guess I can just pick a fake date.
Do you know how this is getting stored? Since it seems from my first reading that the K-ID thing is a 3rd party involved? So where could we figure out who's actually holding our information?

Agreed something like this would be a useful feature. Barring one section of the forum I feel like the vast majority of people I've interacted with (and myself) are over the minor age group by a reasonable margin.

That's because it is giving the site information it doesn't need. In fact, what information the site needs isn't even part of the equation. How much information they can possibly get their hands on - legally or close enough to get away with it. Information is currency, and we're just giving it away because we don't get to have an opinion on it.
There's nothing on here that requires even an 18+ tick box. They want that information for only one reason: It's a market segment they can sell. There is no other reason.

This is a signature. It was a simple signature. But it has been upgraded.
