#LinkedIn is sharing your personal details as well as photographs with lots of other data hoarders.
@b I consider my CV a high profile one. When I was looking for a job 7 years ago, I activated all #Linkedin features for job availability and such.
None. Not a single promising job opportunity derived from it.
Not from my personal Linkedin network, not from any headhunter or similar.
Linkedin was of no use to me despite all data provided and a reasonable large network built.
While I was contacted by 3 job agencies that were able to provide me good job offers. They didn't find me via Linkedin.
Therefore, for me I would not bet on a job that I get via Linkedin.
YMMV
@publicvoit wait...a dunb question. Isin't linkdin facebook for business where you WANT to share everything? Like your personal ad page where you enter only that info that you want to be shared anyway? Why would you even have anything "personal" in that kind of service?
I don't use it so thats why i am asking.
@jonathankoren @Kantikainen Well, I'm unsure how I see that.
On the one hand side, it's for sharing information, yes.
On the other hand side, I personally had no gain from it and they clearly extend the purpose of data collection and sharing way beyond the original purpose of the site which also might violate GDPR which protects our data.
Therefore I wanted to check decisions of others here.
@publicvoit @Kantikainen wait. “I personally had no gain from it” and “I wanted to check the decisions of others”?
Well now we’ve gotten to the crux of the matter haven’t we? It wasn’t for me, so therefore it shouldn’t be for you either.
Mix in some “might violate” (How would you know, given that you just admitted that you don’t use the site? You couldn’t even make a more substantial claim, it’s literally the vaguest weakest allegation. It’s just FUD.
As someone that takes yearly GRPR training, it really isn’t that big of deal. You toss up an “I agree” button, and that’s pretty much it. You get a click, do whatever you said it in the dialog. If your vague wording wasn’t vague enough, write another vague sentence and send another dialog. Only the incompetent violate it.
@jonathankoren @Kantikainen The basis was https://www.golem.de/news/linkedin-persona-in-drei-minuten-in-den-datenschutz-wahnsinn-2603-206707-2.html (German)
I do consider using that service as I have an up to date profile.
I disagree on your GDPR statement. This might be the point of view of a normal user but not of a privacy aware person or a lawyer.

Deleted my account before MS bought it.
