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 @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.

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 It is called LinkedIn for a reason.

@briankrebs Ouch, I didn't know that, I am already verified, so I'm doomed

@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.

@briankrebs What happens to your LinkedIn data for people who haven't verified? Do third party companies or AI get your data anyway? Can you say you don't want your data shared?

@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.

@SharpCheddarGoblin @briankrebs me too off since 2014

@briankrebs hard pass

@SharpCheddarGoblin @briankrebs strangely I had a lot of weird job offers about 3 months ago that were obviously predicated on my old LinkedIn profile.
