Open post Natalia Ossipova @nossipova@mastodon.social · 7mo ago Replying to @Ivovanwilligen@mastodon.social I wanted the blue checkmark on LinkedIn. The one that says “this person is real.” In a sea of fake recruiters, bot accounts, and AI-generated headshots, it seemed like a smart thing to do. So I tapped “verify.” I scanned my passport. I took a selfie. Three minutes later — done. Badge acquired. I felt a tiny dopamine hit of legitimacy. Then I did what apparently nobody does. I went and read the privacy policy and terms of service. Not LinkedIn’s. The other company’s. https://thelocalstack.eu/posts/linkedin-identity-verification-privacy/ @Ivovanwilligen @nicklockwood OTOH, the data you listed under the first seven bullet points gets collected at every airport when you cross the EU border.

Some people actually like it, you jerks. @pikhq @jzilske Are you still programming in Assembly?
