    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 I'm feeling relieved that I never put myself on LinkedIn.

        @briankrebs I've been applying for over a year. I'd just really like a job at this point.

            @briankrebs wonder if this is related to those persona leaks since LinkedIn uses persona: https://cybernews.com/privacy/persona-leak-exposes-global-surveillance-capabilities/

                @briankrebs The minute they said I had to download their app to verify, I was out. I have no social media apps on my phone and have no intentions of changing that for anyone.

                        @briankrebs Companies dealing with artificial intelligence are fine because their result is the synthesis and distortion of data. Worse off are companies that do not deal with artificial intelligence; they store your data without loss.

                                    @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.
