If you thought living in Europe, Canada, or Hong Kong meant you were protected from having LinkedIn scrape your posts to train its AI, think again. You have a week to opt out before the Microsoft subsidiary assumes you're fine with it.
You have one week to opt out or become fodder for LinkedIn AI training

I should probably just delete my account.

I opted out a few weeks ago. While you're at it, turn off the Ad settings on your account too.

Going down the line, a year ago, and hard deleting my entire social media presence was one of the most freeing things. My own company insists on this spyware bullshit. Ugh. Be free, friends!

I closed my Linkedin account over a month ago for unrelated reasons, but I'm glad I did it anyway. During that process (why is it a process, it should just be a single button and confirmation, nothing else), they try to convince you to just "deactivate" the account, saying it's basically the same thing as closing it, but leaves it there "just in case you want to come back!"
Lol no
