If you have a LinkedIn account, you need to read this right now.
LinkedIn is scraping your profile, your posts, your messages, and your activity to train their AI models.
You agreed to it without knowing it. It was turned on by default. There is active legal pressure in multiple countries over how.
Here are 5 moves to shut it off.
The switches are buried where LinkedIn hopes you never look:🧵
First, what is actually happening.
In 2024, LinkedIn quietly updated its privacy settings to allow your personal data to be used for AI training. Your posts. Your profile information. Your messages. Your activity patterns. All of it was opted into by default.
When European users and privacy advocates noticed and complained, LinkedIn turned it off for EU and UK users due to legal pressure from regulators. But users in the US, Canada, Australia, and most of the rest of the world remained opted in by default with no notification.
Microsoft owns LinkedIn. LinkedIn feeds that data into Microsoft's broader AI ecosystem. It is still happening unless you manually opt out right now.

A home theater installer walked into his friend's apartment, looked at his $1,500 Samsung TV for 5 seconds, and said:
"You have never actually seen what this TV can do."
He changed 9 settings in 12 minutes. The picture looked like a different television.
Here is every setting he changed: 🧵
First, what your TV is actually doing out of the box.
Every major brand — Samsung, LG, Sony, Vizio, TCL — ships their TVs with one goal: look as bright and eye-catching as possible on a showroom floor under fluorescent lights next to 40 other TVs.
Oversaturated colors. Boosted brightness. Fake motion. Digital noise.
It wins the 90-second Best Buy contest. It ruins every movie in your living room.
And on top of that, it is screenshotting your screen every 30 seconds and selling your viewing data to advertisers.
You paid $1,500 for this.

Apple defaults your $1200 camera to a quarter of its actual resolution.

Here's what Apple doesn't tell you:

Settings → Camera → Formats → Photo Mode → Select "HEIF Max (48 MP)"
Apple defaults your $1200 phone to 12MP. The sensor does 48MP. You've been shooting at a quarter of what your camera can do since the day you bought it
