This presupposes the requirement that your google account necessarily needs to link to a real person with verifiable metadata. However, this was clearly debunked/lambasted LAST time they tried to enforce it with google plus. This cavalier attitude towards my data and the fact that many services now enforce logging in with a google account rather than plain email and password, means that I need to create a "dummy" google account for those services. E.g. one of my accounts is dubbed Johnny English. So how exactly is proving that my imaginary Johnny English persona is not underage have anything of real relevance to do with the law? Answer, it doesn't. It's just another blatant attempt to strongarm people into surrenderring more data than they strictly need to. Most people will cave and use their real DOB, simply because you KNOW Google will try to use it against you if you use a fake one (like, if God forbid you are ever kicked out of your account for one of Google's infamous "you broke our rules but we're not telling you which ones" shenanigans)
