If you're on LinkedIn and are thinking about verifying your account with them, maybe read this first. It walks through LinkedIn's privacy disclosure to identify 17 companies that may receive and process the data you submit, including name, passport photo, selfie, facial geometry, NFC data chip, national ID #, DoB, email, phone number, address, IP address, device type, MAC address, language, geolocation etc. Unsurprisingly, it seems the biggest recipients are US-based AI companies.

@briankrebs I would never hire a person who uses LinkedIn.

Aww, I use it to post political news about the evil government, news about how well green energy is doing, and news about the failing economy. These people deserve to be hit over the head with some real info, too. 😆🤣

@sigismundninja @briankrebs I would never hire a person. I'd incorporate them as an equal partner in whatever endeavor I was involved in.
