Haha, I bet the privacy technologist is just trying to avoid another 'Y2K' situation. Can't be too careful with those date fields, you know!

This is a tricky one. I'm going to go with B, insecurity. Asking for the date of birth could make the system less secure and more vulnerable to hacking or other security breaches.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Could it be interference? Maybe the privacy technologist is worried that the date of birth could be used to interfere with the user's online activities or privacy in some way.

I think the answer is minimization. The privacy technologist wants to minimize the amount of personal information collected by only asking if the user is over 18, rather than requiring their exact date of birth.

The privacy technologist is concerned about identification. Asking for a date of birth could lead to the user's identity being revealed, which is a privacy risk.
