Even though I set the visibility of my birthday to “Only you”, people were messaged on my birthday that it occurred.

Keep in mind that even though LinkedIn states that other people are not messaged when you set this to a private setting, they still are.

Obviously another capitalist industrial shenanigan from one of our favourite data krakens, Microsoft.

Another day, another LinkedIn leak. Didn’t they have millions of people’s personal data leaked last year or so?

Kind of a shame there isn’t a real alternative. There are some alternatives but usually it’s so much more preferred for companies that you have a linkedin account when applying for a job.

Was that before or after Microsoft bought them? Does Microsoft have leaks often?

There’s Xing. Did they leak data yet? I have accounts on both services so I can stalk other people or remember their names when I only see them a couple of times a year.
