They were already doing that.

Every advertising company already monitors you whenever possible to determine things like your age to target ads as effectively as possible. If a isn't relying on a third party for advertising like Google AdSense, and they're handling it internally, they definitely know that info.

I assumed they were already doing that, after all the IPO is coming do they will be doing all they can to make money and avoid risk. Admitting it however shows they are desperate.
