Image description: A table with the months January - December and the days 1-31. Every entry for the months is the same text, "Never Tell Anybody". Every entry for the days is the same text, "Your Date Of Birth".

We presume that screen reader users mostly can't do the memes this is criticizing anyway, because nobody bothers to do image descriptions for them, but that's not a reason to leave people out of the conversation.

If someone had my DOB, what kind of damage could they actually do? (Enough to go through all my tweets in case I ever did one of these?)

The main one is it makes it easier to figure out who you are/locate you in reality/doxx you. Also, a depressing number of systems/organisations use date of birth as a kind of security question
