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.

Wow. 

“For free” according to the company’s LinkedIn page, but visiting rapportive.com redirects me to a Sales Navigator upsell page. I guess the demo is still free?
