Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm.
The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it.
Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.
There are really 3 sides of linkedIn.
I have literally never seen the social media side, but there is plenty on LinkedInLunatics. I have found multiple jobs with it though.
wow, I didn’t know about glassdoor, thank you!
oh so like they are like not doing the same thing. 1000 applys no job but many free datapoints
