Dear WA'rs, it has been a while since I have been posting. I have decided to pick up the pieces if I find something important that may need your attention.
Did you know?
LinkedIn activated a new default setting (November 3rd):
"Use my data for training content creation AI models" - ON by default!
Ready to put this into action?

What they're taking:
- ✗ Your posts, articles, and profile content
- ✗ Already trained on your PAST data (opt-out doesn't undo this!)
- ✗ Still use your data when you interact with their AI features
- ✗ ANY feedback you give (thumbs up/down) = more training data
- ✗ Share with Microsoft and affiliates (non-EU users!)
What you get: Nothing. Zero. They profit; you don't.
Protect yourself NOW: Settings → Data Privacy → "Data for Generative AI Improvement" → Turn OFF
⚠️ Also: Stop using AI features on LinkedIn & don't give feedback if you want to minimize data harvesting! ⚠️
Your intellectual property has value - don't give it away! 🛡️
