LinkedIn’s now sharing user data with Microsoft to “train AI”—and you’re automatically opted in. You can turn it off, but not undo what’s already been used.

I get the logic: more data makes smarter AI. But doing this quietly under “legitimate interest” feels tone-deaf. If you have to opt out to keep control of your own data, something’s off.

TL;DR
⚠️ Default opt-in for AI training
🔐 Settings > Data Privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement
🧹 Clean old posts; opt-out only stops future use
