Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm.
The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it.
Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.
Can we PLEASE stop calling everything …gate? There wasn’t even a gate involved in the first place. This naming convention fucking sucks.
Uh oh, it’s Gategate all over again
Microsoft is involved, so there could be a Bill Gate.
Watergate.
Your fake outrage is a distraction from the real violations that Micro$lop is committing.
