Birthdays can't let others know your exact location, it's like sharing your first name because your first name isn't sharing anything very private or that could track your location, no support

Not so much your location as your birth date - which is another key piece of information that is used to identify you to some organizations. So it can be useful for identity theft. Is this a problem for kids? Maybe not right now - but later in life it might be a problem to them. They should definitely be talking it over with their parents before making their birth date public knowledge.

There is probably not much chance that is relied on taking in consideration of the single fact that many others share the exact same birthday.

Unless they unshare the project at a point and reshare the project

Happy birthday to me someone, these types of projects should be, banned from the site, because they give people their birth dates.

Yes, but remember that many, many other people share the exact same birthday as YOU, meaning that it's super hard and super unlikely that anybody can doxx you just from your birthday alone.

And also, some people put Antarctica as their own location on their profile as to not share location to everyone.

More cons? WIll be way too extreme, and no one will know your birthday so no one of your internet friends can tell you happy birthday either. ( there are some people who have a rough IRL life and dont have any one else to tell them happy birthday too )

And I just thought up one, some people may riot and protest against this new TOS rule, by trolling by sharing their birthday every time they post.

people on the internet were super dissapointed in how they cant have a 17 thread long comment thread, people on the internet were extremely dissapointed that the stage was swapped to the right side instead of the left, people on the internet were extrodinarily dissapointed that they cant share horror projects, project with guns, or projects with blood. What makes you think they wouldn't be super dissapointed if they couldn't tell random people that its their birthday???

And atleast the previous few made quite a bit of sense, randomly taking down thousands if not more projects simply because there is an extremely minor chance someone actually shared it on their exact birthdate, then also shared their location information (which already shouldn't be present) extremely precisely, AND got someone malicious on their trail spending hundreds of hours finding information from 10 years ago just to commit identity theft when the information is likely not even accurate anymore is kinda maybe possibly a pretty large con?
