LinkedIn locked me out of my own account. The only way back is through Persona โ€” a third-party service that wants a photo of my passport, a scan of my face, and a recording of my movements (liveness detection: turn your head, follow the dot, so a still photo can't stand in for me). The stated reason: "unusual activity." The real reason, of course, is big tech spearheading a movement toward absolute control over people.

So this is not written in anger. It's written in the particular disappointment you feel when something you trusted changes the terms without asking.

With all due respect, but how naive can a person be? Who have ever trusted LinkedIn for a single second?
