I haven’t tried to log into my account for a few weeks because LinkedIn is a cesspool. When I logged in just now (with a passkey, btw), it brought me to this page.

I’ve had this account for over a decade and used it to get my current position. I don’t want to use LinkedIn, but it’s pretty much a requirement in my industry.

I’m not sure if I should cave or what. I read the privacy policy for Persona’s ID verification and it states that the data is immediately destroyed after verification, or held for three years.

This shit should be fucking illegal, and yet, in much of the world, it’s being made enforced legislation. Fuck any company and politician that supports, funds, or operates this bullshit.

    Last year a company shot me a message and now I work there. It was excellent timing on their part, because I was very unhappy with my employer back then.

    I feel like LinkedIn has changed a lot since then, though. The platform is overrun with AI slop and I’m seriously thinking about deleting my account.
