Now I have to remove LinkedIn - this a good reason! It over reduces my cyber footprint overall. I only have it bc it’s required for a places that I’ve applied about 60-70%.
They did me the favor of removing my account when they asked for my ID "to protect my identity".
Sound phake! I’m over skeptical of the new real id thing overall so I won’t be bothering with it until the last moment.
