Crazy that this is the default stance now for places that should know better
My LinkedIn data leaked? Honestly, it's free advertising.
To the extent the leak goes beyond public-facing profile information, this is far from "advertising".
That's fair and for many it's not good at all - I was speaking strictly for myself. I didn't link my account to any other social media, nor did I put a phone number on there.
And what in that leak is going to make you stand out from the other 699,999,999 users? rand(oneLuckyUser) == You???
Didn't say it was good advertising.
"You get what you pay for"
This is why it’s good to only share data with ANY SERVICE that you expect to be leaked.
