LinkedIn will be using information shared on the platform to train AI models. Make sure you opt out in the settings (should you believe that the opt-out option is legit).

    In regions where LinkedIn or its affiliates use member data to train generative AI models for content creation, you can choose to opt-out of having your personal data and content you create on LinkedIn used for training (including fine-tuning). To opt out, use the Data for Generative AI Improvement member setting. Opting out means that LinkedIn and its affiliates won’t use your personal data or content on LinkedIn to train models going forward, but does not affect training that has already taken place.

      How the fuck is this allowed.

      "We shared all your data, but you can tell us not to if you want. I mean, we already did it, but, you know how it is… 🤷‍♂️ "

      And they have the nerve to call the heading “Trust and safety”. TRUST?! There’s no trust for anyone who would sell my data to the highest bidder. Or even anyone who will offer pennies.

        Probably why this isn’t enabled in the EU. GDPR wouldn’t have allowed it.

      Finding the setting:

      • tap profile to open the sidebar and use the gear there (the one on the homescreen is only for notification settings)
      • data privacy
      • data for generative improvement

    The thing is most of your corporate secrets will already be used before you opt out. It will only work for ones you create in the future (if you believe they won’t change their policies which you absolutely shouldn’t do).

    I opted out of this over a month ago, still opted out.

    Wonder how long they’ve been doing this …
