LinkedIn has blocked me.
|
||||
|
||||
> We first need to verify your identity to ensure your account safety.
|
||||
> To regain access to your account, please submit a government-issued ID.
|
||||
|
||||
I hope I don't sound too much like a crackpot by stating that I'm not
|
||||
comfortable "submitting a government-issued ID" to Microsoft.
|
||||
I presume they really mean "submit a photograph of a government-issued ID",
|
||||
but still.
|
||||
|
||||
LinkedIn was the only social media network I ever joined,
|
||||
and days after doing so,
|
||||
I regretted it.
|
||||
Other people have good write-ups of why it's problematic.
|
||||
For me, the short version of the story is that
|
||||
it was a lot of dumb stuff I wasn't interested in.
|
||||
|
||||
I remember trying to get a certification in the Go language.
|
||||
They asked me about all kinds of compile-time flags on Windows
|
||||
that I had never used, since I was doing all my development on Unix.
|
||||
I failed the certification attempt,
|
||||
which is okay,
|
||||
because I could continue to write Go programs without it.
|
||||
|
||||
Anyway,
|
||||
my LinkedIn account is now frozen in whatever state I last left it.
|
||||
If you send me messages there,
|
||||
I won't get them.
|
||||
I probably wouldn't have gotten them anyway,
|
||||
since my messages were mostly recruiter spam.
|
||||
I think I linked to woozle.org from it,
|
||||
but I can't even pull up my own profile without logging in,
|
||||
and I can't log in until I let the drop my driver license or passport in whatever database they run.
|
||||
|
||||
I 5-10 years everybody will hate LinkedIn anyway,
|
||||
so I guess I'm just ahead of my time :)
