A Box You Want to Uncheck on LinkedIn
LinkedIn recently changed its settings enabling a “default” setting whereby our names and photos can be used for third-party advertising.
1. Click on your name on your LinkedIn homepage (upper right corner). On the drop-down menu, select “Settings”.
2. From the “Settings” page, select “Account*”.
3. In the column next to “Account”, click “Manage Social Advertising” .
4. De-select the box next to “LinkedIn may use my name, photo in social advertising” .
5. In E-mail Preferences deselect Partner InMails
6. In Groups, Companies & Applications deselect Data Sharing with 3rd-party applications
This is the stuff that makes social networking scummy.
