#LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer - 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.
After years on the platform with not a single positive, not a single real job-related inquiry. I deleted my Linkedin profile last year. There have been no negatives to that decision, just a lot less BS. #DataPrivacy #tracking #surveillance #DigitalFreedom
