The age verification got me with Google recently. When I registered my google account in 2004, I didn't put my real info and wanted to stay "incognito", because even back then I was reluctant to be giving info to Google. It was just a search engine after all, why does a search engine need more info.. right?
Now after 17 years, they are asking me to age-verify my account. So far I have refused, but I think eventually I'll be forced to cough it up.
I have a feeling that it will probably start with birthday first, and then later expand to adding real name, address, and government issued ID.
