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.
I’m using it to finish deleting every single email. It takes forever and ever and ever. It’s awful. I’m almost done y’all. I’ll be completely off google, FB, Amazon, etc., but then need to figure out how to deal with family devices (smart TV with YouTube, etc). It’s been a long road for the google email.
Don’t bother deleting the emails one by one. They don’t actually “delete” as in the data is gone from Google. Just stop using it in the future.
