These do get shared, but usually in meme form where you turn your birthday into your "Werewolf name" and are encouraged to share in the comments. Because you're sharing in an altered, amusing form, you don't stop to consider someone can reverse your birthday from it.

My birthday is literally already on my Facebook "about" page though, and shown to all my friends whenever it comes around, so they can post on my timeline.

But that doesn't automatically make it available to 3rd parties that have no connection to you.
