LinkedIn locked me out of my own account. The only way back is through Persona — a third-party service that wants a photo of my passport, a scan of my face, and a recording of my movements (liveness detection: turn your head, follow the dot, so a still photo can’t stand in for me). The stated reason: “unusual activity.” The real reason, of course, is big tech spearheading a movement toward absolute control over people.
But why wouldn’t you hand over your passport to a company that sells your data to anyone willing to pay for it?
lol 20 years ago this would be considered an absolute scam
Now it’s an “exciting business opportunity”
liveness detection? that is too valuable a data to not make it to some government or AI tech company’s database. so much metadata too lol. fuck this shit.

So this is not written in anger. It’s written in the particular disappointment you feel when something you trusted changes the terms without asking.
With all due respect, but how naive can a person be? Who have ever trusted LinkedIn for a single second?
