To get back into a locked account, LinkedIn hands you to Persona — a $2-billion third party that photographs your passport, scans its chip, and maps your face.

    It’s a shame people even need LinkedIn. It’s easy to say “fuck LinkedIn, it’s a social network for arse kissers,” but if your job uses it… you kind of have to use it. Or get another job. But that’s not an option for a lot of people.

    I’m sure it’s fine. Totally innocuous.
