Block Party

"I thought I had my Facebook, Google, Instagram, X, Venmo and LinkedIn on privacy lockdown. Then I got terrified by a new service called Block Party. It scans nine critical apps for 223 privacy, security and other settings.

Now would be a great time to ensure you’ve opted out of LinkedIn training their AI tools on your content (most folks are opted in by default, and it does depend on which country you live in). Why should you opt out? I’ll tell you…

LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool -- they just auto opted everyone in. I recommend opting out now (AND that orgs put an end to auto opt-in, it's not cool) Opt out steps: Settings and Privacy > Data Privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement (OFF)
