Just wait until GitHub starts requiring this.

So LinkedIn’s 1st CEO Reid Hoffman who was all up in relationships with Epstein & Bone Saw, yakking it up with monsters is the place to store your employment history? To provide a blue checkmark? To feed into copliot & be sold to AI weapons vendors & gruesome thugs like Palantir’s CEO & Chairman? Yikes.

This is all bad, but I feel compelled to call out the “geolocation (inferred from your IP)” tidbit, because I can vouch that in the era of IPv4 scarcity, this value is often wildly wrong. When I’m at home, for the past 10 years, living in three different cities in that time, my ISP-granted IP address registered as incorrect locations (often by hundreds of miles) more often than not. And my mobile phone is always wrong, showing me in Colorado, St Louis, or North Carolina depending on the day. None of those locations are even close to correct.

It’s truly a shame we are allowing these companies to steal and share and abuse our personal data, and it’s even worse that even the very basics of that data are so often blatantly wrong.

This process will be done in a way that you won’t even have to do it in 3min, it will be part of you phone wallet, and whenever you sign up you will be required to verify it there, essentially, all big tech will be having a copy of your biometric, and consequently, all three letter agencies too. Welcome to the tyranny of big tech!

That's quite cool, it means that soon models will be able to create a fake ID photos with real data.

I'm so excited about it! /s

Because it's Persona you can also count on every ICE body cam that is having facial recognition performed by Palantir has access to this data.

LinkedIn is creepy even compared to Facebook imo.

And the content is the worst trash you'll find online, bottom of the barrel.
