I haven’t tried to log into my account for a few weeks because LinkedIn is a cesspool. When I logged in just now (with a passkey, btw), it brought me to this page.
I’ve had this account for over a decade and used it to get my current position. I don’t want to use LinkedIn, but it’s pretty much a requirement in my industry.
I’m not sure if I should cave or what. I read the privacy policy for Persona’s ID verification and it states that the data is immediately destroyed after verification, or held for three years.
This shit should be fucking illegal, and yet, in much of the world, it’s being made enforced legislation. Fuck any company and politician that supports, funds, or operates this bullshit.
Happened to me like a year ago, i caved and did the persona thing and they still after i gave all the info they wanted locked my account. Now i have no way of making an account or they will just lock that one too. I really hate linkedin and how it’s trying to have the monopoly on job seeking networks…
My spouse had a similar experience. She had an old account she couldn’t access so she tried to create a new one with a different email, but they blocked that. She did the whole Persona thing and they just said no. She contacted their support and they said they couldn’t do anything. So now she has no LinkedIn account and can’t get one.
