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

thanks for the tip!

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
