Data

LinkedIn recently (and quietly) added this data tracking setting and turned it on by default for everyone. 

It’s a dark pattern that and some of their own employees have been calling them out (link below).

If you prefer not to give away all of your data to LinkedIn’s new product development efforts, you can and should opt out.

would you or someone you know be interested in a list of the dark patterns performed by LinkedIn? 👀
