LinkedIn locked me out of my own account. The only way back is through Persona — 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.

    I wonder how popular the idea is now to require all your details and personal information given to one of the fascist US regimes largest companies.

      They will promise to keep the info safe, while storing it and selling it, including to the USG.

      The US buys data broker information, all of it.
