LinkedIn will soon train AI models with data from European users

Thanks. This should have been _opt in_, and not opt out, regardless of any LinkedIn newsletter emails that automatically go to the garbage bin.

Surprised the EU did not make "opt in" the mandatory default for something like this.

Unlawful processing of data is absolutely not “opt out” by default, and simply assuming that “legitimate interest” applies does not mean that you can allow on opt out.

Here's just a quick reminder that if you're a LinkedIn user based in an EU member state, and if you do not believe that “legitimate interest” applies, you can file a complaint with your national supervisory authority (SA)/data protection authority (DPA); see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_data_protection_autho...

Thanks, complaint sent.
