Not too ... It could not find DOB for either me, my wife, or my daughter. But then, I've practiced active information control for over 25 years. Others bleed information like sieves hold water. If there were no oblivious sheep, the wolves would start hunting us "harder to find" critters. <grin>

One website that collects personal data had a field for Date
of Birth. If
you entered a DOB that meant that you were underaged, the webpage refused to go further. Thus, the webpage could collect the data where individual was of legal age but would just automatically refuse if under age. This doesnt seem too hard.

i was actually implying that if you asked and found out they were 12, you've just broken the law. the only problem (as i see it) is there's no way for you to collect the age information *without* possibly breaking the law.
