LinkedIn locked my account and wants me to do ID verification through Persona
(piefed.cdn.blahaj.zone)
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.
I did from Apple a few years ago after I bought a new Mac mini, but there was some issue with my Apple Care subscription and they helped me to sort it out. I actually had to talk to a real person on the phone from another country (Ireland) because they needed to escalate. But my issue was resolved and they were very helpful.
I gotta give Apple that, they have actual support.
Well, as long as it's not about repairing something without warranty.
