If you're on LinkedIn and are thinking about verifying your account with them, maybe read this first.

@briankrebs Seriously, just delete your LinkedIn account. I nuked mine years ago.
@SharpCheddarGoblin @briankrebs strangely I had a lot of weird job offers about 3 months ago that were obviously predicated on my old LinkedIn profile.

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.

Their implementation of this was what convinces me it was time to shitcan LinkedIn. Did so about 6 months ago before this all happened and never looked back.

@tuneintodetuned @briankrebs I won't verify, but linkedin is probably the least sketchy way to find a job. Most of the spam I get comes from my info being on dice, indeed and careerbuilder. I've tried some other places for remote only positions, and I'm starting to follow the #getfedihired and #fedihire tags here looking for work. Another 3 or 4 weeks and it'll be a year of searching.
@maaneeack @tuneintodetuned @briankrebs this jives with my experience. It’s a low bar when LI is the better option.
I also worry about all the tools involved like resume building tools and job application management tools like workday. Applicants often have little choice but to share quite personal data and I fear what is done with it -

When I was still getting unemployment that wasn't really an option. Even now I just agree and submit, I need a job.

@briankrebs That’s kinda creepy! I didn’t know LinkedIn shared so much stuff. Maybe I’ll think twice before uploading my selfie now… or just delete the app.

The startup world is just as guilty of this. Everyone's building the same productivity SaaS with slightly different colors. The real innovation happens when someone ignores what everyone else is doing

@briankrebs So glad I left that horrible platform a few months back.

@briankrebs that's scary stuff.
I deleted my account a while ago because of the AI slop and discriminatory policy changes but I feel sorry for anyone who unknowingly submits their data to those companies
