Very insightful write-up by @thelocalstack of what happens to your data when you verify your #Linkedin account.

In short: don't.

I Verified My LinkedIn Identity. Here's What I Actually Handed Over.

I wanted a blue badge on LinkedIn. To get it, I gave a US company my passport, my face, and my biometric data. Then I read the fine print.

@thelocalstack and the worst is that LinkedIn is absolute garbage. 90% of the posts I have on my feed is not even interesting. Just people trying to show how awesome they are and corporate crap

LinkedIn has been training AI on your profile, group messages, and posts by default.

The opt-out doesn't cover everything. UK users have it even worse, their data goes directly to Microsoft.

It's not illegal. That's exactly the problem.

LinkedIn is Not Breaking the Law. That's the Problem.

LinkedIn has been training AI on your profile, posts, and group messages by default. The opt-out has a hole in it. And it's all perfectly legal.

Hey everyone, after some tweaking the newsletter is finally working. If you had issues signing up before, try again, it should work now.
New post coming this week. Thanks for the patience.

Newsletter signups are broken, working on a fix.

If you got an error, email me at [email protected] and I’ll add you manually.

On the quieter posting, I’m not chasing trends. The next piece takes time to do right, and I need to protect my energy as I have to work a full time job. More coming soon.

Thanks for the patience.
