LinkedIn remains the only social media platform where I still have an account - other than here on Mastodon - but I'm done after this news. I'm not active anyway.
So I tried closing my account in a mobile browser and this is the error message I get in return.

#LinkedIn wanted me to provide pictureID; when I refused, they kicked me out. It obv didn't help that I didn't like them asking me to provide expert (to feed their #AI) all the while, or that they sold my #data for sticky advertiser. https://tinyurl.com/dontLI #privacy #DataProtection
To begin with, what right does #Microsoft have to abscond with user data on this level?

Tech billionaires are waging a hostile takeover in Solano County, CA.
They’ve spent $900 million to buy land and are trying to build their own private city from scratch.
Local activists are fighting back, but the battle has just begun.

Alguém descobriu que o LinkedIn usa o conteúdo publicado na plataforma para treinar inteligências artificiais generativas. Tem um botão enterrado nas configurações que, promete o LinkedIn, bloqueia o seu conteúdo de ser usado para esse fim. Siga por aqui para acessá-lo.
Não sei se esse botão é novo, só sei que o uso de conteúdo para treinamento de IA não é de agora. Em março, publiquei no próprio LinkedIn:
Não que seja surpreendente, mas desanimei em saber que o LinkedIn está usando tudo que escrevo aqui para treinar IA. Coisa chata, parece que agora tem alguém bisbilhotando tudo, o tempo todo e em todo lugar.
Talvez o melhor a se fazer seja parar de escrever no LinkedIn.
‘LinkedIn suspends AI training using UK user data’
Meh. Nothing lost, nothing gained. It was only going to suffer from significant hyperbole bias anyway. Rampant self-promotion is just too creepy to learn from.

LinkedIn web just told me that "given feature is available only in the app".
Yeah, no. I'm just bored and wanted to silly around. Installing an app is virtually never what I'd like to do.
Also: Yet another point for SPAs/PWAs as this serves everyone with less effort.
Microsoft owned up to LinkedIn's data scraping. Honestly, I mighta done it too. The dataset is just so ripe for analysis.

#LinkedIn has gotten even worse. They have actively stopped screenshotting in the #Android App and now require you to pick a link or other share method. #Uninstalled
And remember to opt out of their generative AI nonsense too
Wait, does #LinkedIn not have an "introduce these two people" button?
