@bornach the reason to use 1970-01-01 is because it's Unix epoch time, and usually means something is formatted as a date, but has invalid data. In my years in marketing, it's often discarded when using birthdate to determine age demographics for campaigns, because it's *more likely* to be an error than a real birthdate, and it's easier to discard anything that whiffs of bad data, because sending marketing materials costs money.

only the society can kill them, but society is lazy and not interested.

I can’t opt out of having my data collected and then sold to data brokers by credit bureaus and if you’re American, you can’t either.
And that’s just the example I can think of off the top of my head.

@evacide Plus, government bodies are funded by taxpayer dollars, so we're paying for our own surveillance.

Patel is a scourge on the civil liberties of Americans. He serves an autocrat. The only positive news of his appointment is that he is dumb. .
