Open post Bebadefabo @bebadefabo__dup_540@mastodon.social · 7mo ago Replying to @Ivovanwilligen@mastodon.social I wanted the blue checkmark on LinkedIn. The one that says “this person is real.” In a sea of fake recruiters, bot accounts, and AI-generated headshots, it seemed like a smart thing to do. So I tapped “verify.” I scanned my passport. I took a selfie. Three minutes later — done. Badge acquired. I felt a tiny dopamine hit of legitimacy. Then I did what apparently nobody does. I went and read the privacy policy and terms of service. Not LinkedIn’s. The other company’s. https://thelocalstack.eu/posts/linkedin-identity-verification-privacy/ @Ivovanwilligen@mastodon.social #SimpedIn

Open post Bebadefabo @bebadefabo__dup_540@mastodon.social · 7mo ago Replying to @Daojoan__dup_15824@mastodon.social Nobody on LinkedIn has ever had a bad day. Every setback is a "growth opportunity." Every firing is a "new chapter." Every complete professional disaster is framed as "excited to announce." These people would describe the Titanic as "a bold pivot to submarine operations." @Daojoan@mastodon.social #SimpedIn
