Speaking of LinkedIn, from the WaPo a few days ago:
Last week, the professional network added a new data privacy setting that caught many by surprise. By default, it granted itself permission to use information shared on the service to train its artificial intelligence. Unless you toggle this new setting to off, LinkedIn considers everything fair game — your posts, articles, even your videos.
To opt out, log into your LinkedIn account, tap or click on your headshot, and open the settings. Then, select “Data privacy,” and turn off the option under “Data for generative AI improvement.”
Flipping that switch will prevent the company from feeding your data to its AI, with a key caveat: The results aren’t retroactive. LinkedIn says it has already begun training its AI models with user content, and that there’s no way to undo it.
