Overview
- LinkedIn says the training will draw on public activity such as posts, comments, photos, captions, job listings and group participation, and it will not include private messages.
- The rollout covers users in Europe, Switzerland, Canada and Hong Kong, according to the company’s notice.
- Users and non-users whose information appears on the platform can exercise their right to object through LinkedIn’s settings or a help-form process that generates an email confirmation.
- The AI-improvement option is switched on by default, requiring individuals to change their preference to opt out.
- The Italian Data Protection Authority is working with other European regulators to assess compliance, including whether LinkedIn’s opposition tools function properly and whether relying on legitimate interest is appropriate.
