Google birthdate demand
Last week I saw a notification pop up on an old Android 4.4 tablet that runs my home automation display saying that Google wants me to provide my birthdate in my account settings "to meet regulatory requirements". If I tap it, it goes to the Play Store app. But the Google account shown in the Play Store app does have a birthdate (fake, of course). A few days later it popped up again, and I dismissed it again. Today it popped up again, but says "you must provide your birthday now".
Checking online, there is no information about this specific notification, but there is information like this: https://support.google.com/accounts/ans ... 3913?hl=en
which says that Google may at random lock you out of your account and ask you by email to verify your age with credit card or passport for mysterious reasons of their own. Therefore I am concerned, because I don't want to be locked out any of my Google accounts. But I can't even tell which account the notification is for, because tapping it simply opens the Play Store app with whatever Google account that the Play Store happens to be set to, apparently not the account generating the notification which is not identified.
I haven't purchased anything, subscribed to anything or posted anything on Youtube or whatever recently in any Google account that would seem to have any relation to this sudden notification.
Only the old Android 4.4 tablet showed these notifications, so I went through the Google accounts that were present on that tablet. There has been no email from Google in any of them. A couple didn't have a birthdate, so I added one (fake, of course).
So now I guess I will wait and see if anything further happens, but I'm a little pissed off at Google here! What are they up to?
