It’s incorrect anyway. I am not prepared to send passport details I just want it removed. Your data company is comparable and worse, to George Orwell’s 1984, and former communist nations past and present. Enough of this noncence, we live supposidly in a democratic world, and your company is breaking the law and making many people miserable.
I require immediate action.

Hi Belinda,

I am sorry to read this. Since I am very far from the entertainment business, could you please confirm my following understanding: in your area/business/domain, the "job-givers" rely solely on IMDb to assess people age?

IMDb is being targeted because it is such a popular site, and because it happens to have offices in the Western bloc nations. If there is a reliable website specializing in the same content, obscure entertainment performers might ask that its servers be null-routed from the Internet but for the most part they wouldn't do anything about it. Violations of copyright/patent are far more serious, and still there is little that can be done about it internationally.

Hi, .belinda mayne. Please don't compare IMDb to an all-seeing, tyrannical monopoly on violence. If the IMDb staff believe the information incorrect, they will approve a submission to delete the birth date information associated with your name entry. Have you even tried deleting it yet?

Belinda, unless mistaken, Jeorj is not an IMDb staff, just an independent contributor...

Yes, I understand that, but the company is not planting bugs in people's homes, instating curfews, burning down other people's libraries, dragging people off the streets, punishing people without a fair trial or ending anybody's life. You get the gist. The "big brother" hyperbole is discourteous and disingenuous, even it is not unwelcome. (The scenarios of dystopia presented in Nineteen-eighty-four reflect very serious crimes against humanity.)

(I meant, "even if", whereas "even it" is typographical/lexical error.)

Hi Will, what I require is no day, year, or month to be printed. Is that possible? I never asked to be on IMDb and would happily be deleted if that is possible.
