  • actually, if the legislation doesn’t specifically demand that they store user’s actual date of birth, if I were to design this system, I would simply ask the user a yes/no question of whether they’re at least 18 at the time of answering the question. If they answer yes, it won’t expire because the time doesn’t go backwards. I could also store the date exactly 18 years before the answer is given as a pseudo-DoB, that could be used, later on, to, for example, prove that the user is at least 21 for whatever reason. Most importantly, this would ensure that the user doesn’t give any unnecessary identifying information to the system.
