No the fuck it isn't. If it does, I'll switch to a Linux phone. If that wants my age, I'll modify it so that it doesn't. If that breaks my applications, I'll modify them too. If they can't be modified, I'll stop using them. If I can't stop using them, I'll create my own replacement for them.

I'll circumvent this in whatever way possible and disseminate information related doing so to everyone I know who cares even slightly. For people that don't care, I'll make them care. If they can't be made to care, who needs them?
