  Even if you give a false DOB, it could be one more weapon in the armory of trackers and fingerprinters.

    If entire distros default to 1/1/1970 then it might not be super helpful.

    Might be interesting to see if some anti-tracking distros outside of these jurisdictions are interested in doing something like that.
