I remember when Instagram started asking for your date of birth in order to use it, which prompted me to take a nice break from it. The next time I checked in, they made it so that you could have a "shadow birthday" tied to your age and the current date. I wonder if that'll affect me in the event I have to go through the kind of ID verification hell I see reported everywhere (including replies to this post).
