You're probably opted-in by default unless you live in UK, Europe, or California.

THANKS!

Eat shit fuckers.

Huh, I though Canadian law would prevent auto opt-in as well but it was turned on for me

Ty

I work at a few news orgs and they literally sent out emails requiring employees to turn this off!!

Fucking LinkedIn

Thank you

Yikes! Thanks for letting us know.

...why the fuck would linkedin--you know what never mind I'm sure there's some scummy reason like training ai models on what applications to reject or whatever

noctowl: never write your own painfully forced sounding posts about workplace culture ever again!

fuck off, shitty algorithms!

I'm from California, and I was set to opt-in

Mine is now set to off

guess I gotta remember my fuckass linked-in, I haven't used it in years though

thaaaank you, turning that the fuck off

THANK YOU.

turned that the hell off

ty!

I resent the fact that the overwhelming majority of these companies that scrape their users' data have it on by default and have to be opted-out, rather than disabled by default and must be opted-in. They know exactly what they are doing.

HEAVY SIGH that we have to keep doing this on every damn website now

well on the upside neither of the emails I use are coming back with a linked in attached to it so maybe I deleted mine years ago, yippeee
