LinkedIn

A user in the decentralised Fediverse network has criticised accounts that only share links from mainstream social media platforms like Bluesky, LinkedIn, Facebook and X, using blunt language to call out what they see as hypocrisy in a community built on alternatives. The post frames these networks as controlled by tech billionaires and questions why people still funnel their content back to them.

LinkedIn is allowing companies to use its data to identify which employees are updating their profiles and may be looking for new employment. Privacy commentators are warning workers to assume that anything done on a work device or company network can be monitored, and to keep personal browsing, including job hunting, on personal phones away from employer Wi-Fi.
