People have to understand that Marc Zuckerberg is an intrusive psychopath. You have to boycott all of his products, otherwise you'll become the product.

Sure by itself. But when combined with other information like your IP address which they already have they can finger print you.

It is indeed done by many apps, including Accuweather, NY Times, WSJ, Overstock, AliExpress, Google News, Chrome, Fox News, Vice News etc. This video demonstrate that. Not sure why only TikTok is highlighted in the news.

The problem could be that they already have that code - it’s broken and wouldn’t work:
- there’s a mismatched parenthesis in the first line,
- you’re only testing one object rather than each object in their collection,
- you’re testing the entire object against a string value, and,
- the third line is performing a useless equality test (the result is discarded), rather than the assignment likely intended.
You dont need it. LinkedIn marketing and society makes you feel like you need it. There’s many other ways to find work.

Meh. cache invalidation is hard. Bugs are bugs are bugs are hard to fix. I'm always amazed at how not-understand people are here that humans write software and humans are flawed.
A few years ago, I read an article that anything posted on the Internet is there forever.
Ah here it is.
Ah here it is.
Yeah, as far as I am familiar with, LinkedIn is very rarely used for jobs in university, research institute or government research agency.
They weren't the only app doing this. LinkedIn, AccuWeather, and others were doing this. I like LinkedIn is being sued over this also.
How long are we going to allow these companies to make egregious mistakes with the handling of our personal data under the guise if 'bugs'?
A lot of bugs related to takeout tools. Either companies weren't ready to implement those, or they like to scapegoat a feature they were forced to add.

Call me when Instagram is handing over information to authorities for the purpose of censorship.
Edit: Funny thing is I wouldn't even care what they did with the data as long as they were upfront about it. Give users the choice.

Having a cellphone is a necessary evil for most people, and it's worse than all the others listed combined. Every cell company knows your location at all times, down to a precision smaller than a suburban block, and they leak that all over the place. In 2018 there was this: https://www.zdnet.com/article/cell-...ed-millions-of-americans-real-time-locations/ . You can't even choose a carrier that doesn't do this; they all do it.
I know this doesn't absolve the others of their wrongs, but once we're talking about boycotts or government regulation, priorities matter.

Researching and finding companies that do what you want to do in your city and calling or emailing them directly. What’s a job you can only get on LinkedIn?

What can LinkedIn even do wrong? I put my resume on there, and I wanted as many people to see it as possible. It's not like I was giving them private information.
About 3 weeks later, I started getting emails asking to interview, many of which I ignored but some of which were worth pursuing. Then I got the job I have today. System worked as intended.
