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.

The LinkedIn CEO should be jailed over this, it’s the only way they learn to not be criminals

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are fully on board with this shit. That leaves it to the rest of us to change their minds but we've seen what happens when someone takes a stand against morally destitute CEOs.
