Verizon made an update to its privacy policies. Account holders’ email addresses are no more private. Also, the option opt out keeps reverting back to “allow”. Their policy now startes: “We may disclose, or allow certain third-party advertising and analytics companies to collect personal information such as your email address, information about your purchase of products and services from us, and information about your activity on our sites and in our apps. These companies may use your email address, or other information they collect to create one or more identifiers associated with you, your household or your device(s) both on and off our sites and in our apps.”

It is an old product that is no longer relevant, and there is no longer any demand for it. Time to move on.

My LinkedIn ban was lifted today. It is not clear what reversed the decision. Whatever the reason was, it doesn’t matter. I appreciate all your supporting voices. Thank you.

Thank you. I have side question for you. Sorry, all this thread coincides with another thread about LinkedIn and me getting banned without knowing why (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37748263). As a job recruiter looking for freelancers, do you expect to find the person on LinkedIn as part of the fact checking process? Would you seriously consider alternating sites such as a person’s website or GitHub and would you find the person a suspect if their LinkedIn profile does not exist ?

What are the most common freelancing sites you use for job postings?

That can happen cause it some point some LLM folks are scraping HN. But then, aren’t the majority of LLM owners the same that own the social media products, especially the centralized ones. It is indeed scary where we are heading. Side question, what does OP stand for?

100% in agreement there and that is exactly why I focused solely on LinkedIn to build my network. Now it all vanished.

Thank you. If only I can talk to a human not a machine at LinkedIn. I am always getting the same automated response each time I try to reply to the ban email message. “ We've deemed the activity in your account is in violation of the LinkedIn User Agreement and Professional Community Policies. Your appeal has been denied and your account has been restricted permanently.
