„I Verified My LinkedIn Identity. Here's What I Actually Handed Over.“

„The whole thing took three minutes. Scan, selfie, done.

Understanding what I actually agreed to took me an entire weekend reading 34 pages of legal documents.

I handed a US company my passport, my face, and the mathematical geometry of my skull. They cross-referenced me against credit agencies and government databases. They’ll use my documents to train their AI. And if the US government comes knocking, they’ll hand it all over — even if it’s stored in Europe, even if I’m European, and possibly without ever telling me.

All for a small blue checkmark on a professional networking site.“
