Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.

@junesim63 excellent article - thanks for sharing.
It also puts me in mind of Wilkinson & Picket’s The Spirit Level and the critical importance of #inequality as a predictor of levels of trust and community cohesion
I absolutely agree with the author’s fundamental thesis about social infrastructure and tackling poverty & barriers to accessibility but am convinced we need also to tackle excess wealth head-on - not something this govt would ever imagine
