  1. WHY is there NO option to turn off the sending of notifications of ones own birthdays to others, on Facebook . . . ? Not everyone celebrates birthdays, nor wants others reminded to send them birthday greetings. I’ve looked for a way -several times- to stop such notifications being sent to my friends, to no avail.
