i feel vindicated for never using LinkedIn. after i saw all the questions they asked, i abandoned the account; because, just like Facebook, they made it almost impossible to delete.

i fucking hate techbros and everything they stand for. may they suffer all they heap on us, tenfold

Not only do they collect information, they sell it to data brokers.

As an experiment, I tried to delete my digital presence. I couldn't figure out why I kept showing up in DeleteMe's reports every quarter. Then, I deleted my LinkedIn account, and suddenly new records of me in data brokers listed offerings stopped.

Anecdotal evidence, but still, that was my experience.

@katrinakatrinka sounds about right. it’s why i have never, ever used a dating site. nope, sorry. not worth it.

@katrinakatrinka @blogdiva I was surprised to see the long list of spyware cookies which #meetup.com considers necessary. Most websites insist on a few fairly plausible ones, but meetup.com has a long list. Naturally, refusing them all means that the website does not work. Unfortunately it is impossible to participate in some groups without them.
