To your point though, what if that's all there getting on said persons is their birth date. Thus leading to the point that having that sort of power is no real threat.
This reminds me of the event that caused people to get scared about their email accounts because people thought the government was looking at everyone's individual emails which evidently was created out of fear and not knowing what the actual reason behind it was.
As Frown said, most of this stuff stems from fear, and not control itself.
