Hi all, in these covid-19 crisis times I would like to support some streamers on Twitch by following and sub-ing, but Twitch does ask for a birthday (besides email address) with sign up. I did some searching and it is not clear to me what happens when I would fill in a well known 1st of January 1970. I don’t like the fact that personal info gets sold or used, or that I get tracked. What does Twitch do with the birthday and email information, and perhaps Paypal for paying info ? Can I just fake the numbers without worrying ?

    Just chiming in that if you do signup and are on Android checkout the app Twire in the FDroid store for your on device streaming - it works well and doesnt have the bloat of the Twitch App.
