    Certainly the correct answer. I mean their whole business model includes exactly these kinds of “algorithms”. Knowing people’s age, amongst other factors, is what Google is about, and the reason for the majority of their income.

      Google is an alphabet agency company. You’re not wrong, but they do, have and are handing that information over to governments, including the current US administration.

        Sure. And that’s the case for most big tech companies. I think the fact is a bit unrelated to this topic, though. The government already knows everyone’s birthday… At least for their own citizens, they don’t really need to ask Alphabet to provide that to them.
