Software that burns down the server of any website that asks for data they don't actually need.
Converse, the fucking shoe company refused to sell me shoes unless I provided a DOB near payment screen. I put in a fake one and my payment didn't validate.
Not that DOBs are private anymore with the last 10 years of breaches, fuck I had medical history AND DMV breached separately in the MoveIt heist this year...and these companies just want us to keep shelling out data
