After very little deliberation, I finally flushed my #LinkedIn account down the toilet. Permanent deletion. Poof! Nearly 500 connections which never helped me with anything after decades of work. You should do it, too. Stop giving your personal info away! #internet #microslop linkedin.com/help/linkedin/ans…


RE: colter.social/@nicolasvivant/1…

1. Il semble que le scan réalisé par LinkedIn cible surtout des extensions de scraping/IA
2. Il semble que cette campagne soit le fait d'un développeur d'extension de ce type refusée par LinkedIn. #Vengeance

LinkedIn ne devrait pas faire ce type de scan, mais la précision me semble importante.

J'ai vérifié les allégations de browsergate.eu (LinkedIn scanne plus de 6000 extensions de Chrome au démarrage).

1. c'est vrai
2. Firefox n'est pas impacté

It's quite damning that the folks behind the #BrowserGate investigation about #LinkedIn's hidden data theft programme have opted to sue #Microsoft in court for #DMA infringement rather than submitting a complaint for public enforcement to the @EUCommission.

It looks like they have little trust in the EU Commission to do that job quickly and effectively enough. 🤷‍♂️

Every time you open LinkedIn in a Chrome-based browser, LinkedIn’s JavaScript executes a silent scan of your installed browser extensions. The scan probes for thousands of specific extensions by ID, collects the results, encrypts them, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers.


@Vivaldi is this allowed in your browser? 👀

#Linkedin #BrowserGate


There is a fresh thing going around about LinkedIn scanning extensions installed in Chrome/Chromium:
browsergate.eu/

The website claims "LinkedIn is Illegally Searching Your Computer", and implies the purpose is to find "religious beliefs, political opinions, disabilities".

tl;dr:
- yes, LinkedIn is scanning through a list of 6k+ extensions on Chrome;
- yes, this is bad;
- but the website is disingenuous in making unnecessarily overblown claims.

EDIT: @rysiek has an explanation about the shady things LinkedIn is doing. He explains it far better than I did:

LinkedIn/Microsoft are definitely NOT to be trusted. But I realize phrasing is important. So I’m moderating my own post. I apologize if this was misconstrued.

But I subjectively believe there is a high likelihood that LinkedIn is doing nefarious things with this data.

Donc #Linkedin envoie à Microsoft la liste de toutes les extensions installées dans votre navigateur.

LOL!

Je crois que je vais arrêter de cracher sur LinkedIn, ça devient trop facile et celleux qui sont encore dessus pour ne pas rater le dernier post généré par le ChatGPT du patron le font désormais en pleine conscience.

Et si votre boulot dépend de LinkedIn, il est temps de préparer votre sortie…

This is my second "holy shit" of the day.
Apparently #LinkedIn if silently collecting data on every extension you use every time you visit the site. Which it then uploads, with your identity attached to it.
This is absolutely horrifying. Literally, people should go to jail over this.

Have you had your identity verified on LinkedIn to get the blue tick? If so, I’m afraid I have to tell you that your passport, ID and biometric data are now stored with ‘Persona Identities’, a company funded by Peter Thiel, which has already been cross-referenced with numerous US government databases. This data is shared with any US authorities at their discretion.

@veit

Avez-vous fait vérifier votre identité sur #Linkedin pour obtenir la coche bleue ? Si c'est le ças, j'ai le regret de vous dire que votre passeport, pièce d'identité et données biométriques sont désormais enregistrés chez 'Persona Identities', une boîte créée par #PeterThiel, qui a déjà été croisée avec de nombreuses bases de données du gouvt #US. Ces données sont partagées avec toutes les autorités US à leur demande.
