#2What a sad story. I feel sorry for this person. But it was very naive to put that data up in the first place. I recently tried to open a FB acct so I could connect with local community but within 2 days I was accused of being a bot and asked to start a video interview with a verification bot. That didn't happen, local community can do without me ;)

#3> If you’ve already verified — like me — here’s what I’d recommend
Did you actually follow through with 1-4 and if so what was the outcome? how long did it take?

#4LinkedIn locked me out of my account, and wants me to verify via this same Persona company. I didn't read the terms but there's no way I'm giving Microsoft or its minions my govt id.
What this user missed is the affidavit option: you can get a piece of paper attested by a local authority and upload that instead, if you really really need a LinkedIn verified account.
Microsoft can go jump.

#5I wonder what mongo and snowflake are doing with that data. The table is a little vague.
I was under the impression they just make database products. Do they have a side hustle involving collecting this type of data?

#6Ha. I was reading this and thought "euhhhh, I did not give all of that to verify my account". So I went to LinkedIn to check if I have the shield. I then saw
- that I just have "work email verified" and that there is a Persona thing I was not even aware of
- a post by Brian Krebs at the top of my feed, exactly on that topic: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bkrebs_if-you-are-thinking-ab...

#7You still have a linkedin? Isn't that just all ai slop?

#8How does this work for the myriad banks I've had to prove my identity to in the same way?
I'll be attempting steps 1-4 and see what Persona comes back with.

It's still used for job hunting and recruiting unfortunately. I got a real message from a real recruiter for a 5k+ employee software company on it just last week. My friends and colleagues dealing with layoffs have had to update their profiles. :(

Subprocessor usually just means that you use their products in a way that your personal data passes through them. For example, let's say you are using cloudflare and aws to host a site, then your subprocessors would be cloudflare and aws.
It can be some more nefarious use, but it can also just be that they (persona in this case) use their services to process/store your data.
