Observed behaviour
Possibly related to #815, new users are unable to make changes to the privacy settings and (as far as I can tell) there's nowhere to verify age / update the birthdate.
Reproduction steps
- Create a user without birthdate requirement in registration
- Open user settings > Privacy
- Change the "Direct Messages from Others" toggle to
Show - Save changes button will not work, no error is displayed

Evidence
In the browser network tab you'll see
PATCH request to /settings
{"sensitive_content_friend_dm_filter":0,"sensitive_content_non_friend_dm_filter":0,"sensitive_content_guild_filter":1}
returns
{"code":"VALIDATION_ERROR","message":"Validation failed.","errors":[{"path":"sensitive_content_friend_dm_filter","code":"AGE_RESTRICTED","message":"Non-adult users can only set friend DM filter to blur or block"}]}
Manually setting the users' date of birth in the /admin panel allows this to save correctly.
The AGE_VERIFIED_ADULT and VERIFIED_NOT_UNDERAGE flags have no effect on this.
