I'd like to agree with my blogfriends and add the following:
The point that it is a friends only feature is fine but think it through - someone notes a friends birthday - innocently sends a public greeting and voila!
The point that "the birthday calendar was added as a response to wishes of our bloggers" - what percentage of bloggers have requested this facility?
Finally - real friends let each other know when it's their birthday if and when they want to thus creating the "friendlier community atmosphere" of their own choosing!

Like I said, it will be an option sometime in the future. In the meantime, you can just choose a fake birth date.
As for the percentage, I don't have access to that sort of information, but rest assured that it was enough for the powers that be to approve it.

Are you really asking us to contravene the regulations that we signed into and provide false information - that is disgraceful! This is an amazingly incompetent proposal.

In my opinion blog.de and blog.co.uk have broken the privacy code and possibly European law. The suggestion of making this feature an option some time in the future is not good enough. You should disable the birthday calendar code as from now. That is with immediate effect.

I hope you have taken note of all the people that say your response is not enough and that the birthday calendar should be ceased at once.
