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 After the MS takeover, data was passed to aggregators that then resold linkedin data to agencies, maybe you noticed the increased spam a few years back... the leak was due to changes in t&c of linkedin after the takeover. Getting this corrected cost me a huge amount of time and legal threats towards: the agencies, through the aggregators to linkedin and the internet archive. Total abuse pyramid and its clear to me now, money betrayed the integrity of the owners of linkedin!

@briankrebs Do you know, where do they get the facial geometry data from?

@briankrebs So anyone who uses LinkedIn is an AI guinea pig. At least there's disclosure.
This probably applies to everything else presented to you by Microsoft.

@briankrebs @NMBA they keep asking me to, but I'll never verify myself. I don't care if anyone believes who I say I am. When it becomes mandatory I'll delete my account.

@briankrebs Gross.

@briankrebs I'm feeling relieved that I never put myself on LinkedIn.
Twenty-some years ago,a colleague tried to get me to join. I thought their privacy policy back then was bad and didn't join. Now I'm glad.

@SharpCheddarGoblin @briankrebs In the realm of fetishes one doesn't know they have until they give it a shot, this ranks.

@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.

@briankrebs
I just shared this and the first answer I got was "well, shit, but that's what most companies use and if I don't jump through their hoop I'll never get a job".I don't share this view but I also want to read from everyone here. Any suggestions?

@briankrebs When it comes to social media and apps, my entire family laugh at my usual motto: 'I don't trust them'....they think I'm paranoid, lol!
Makes no difference - I *still* don't trust them, and this confirms it, lol!

Don’t forget the 300+ companies which already read everything you do, verified or not.
