   PSA: LinkedIn are training AI models and selling data for training AI models from your posts, and the setting is enabled by default. I suggest you disable it unless Microsoft pay you.

     As an update to this, the media are uncovering that LinkedIn began training AI models on user posts both without
     telling customers and without updating their terms of service (they still haven’t). https://www.404media.co/linkedin-is-training-ai-on-user-data-before-updating-its-terms-of-service/

     @GossiTheDog Yep. Just checked and disabled the setting. Anyone know exactly when LI disclosed this change? Or did they?

     I complained to the ICO about this, who have forced LinkedIn to discontinue training AI on UK user data. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy89x4y1pmgo
