Just verify¹ your account on some platform? And never checked what happens to your data?
I found a blogpost that read (and researched) the fine print we are too lazy to read: https://thelocalstack.eu/posts/linkedin-identity-verification-privacy/

My Mac Studio had been crashing ~once a week since I got it. Assumed hardware and ignored it.
Finally pasted a crash log into an LLM.
Root cause: long-running Tailscale session − network resource exhaustion (connections/sockets over time).
Fix: small script LaunchAgent to bounce Tailscale overnight when the machine is idle (checks system idle time via ioreg, only restarts if I’ve been away).
Zero crashes since.

Have you had your identity verified on LinkedIn to get the blue tick? If so, I’m afraid I have to tell you that your passport, ID and biometric data are now stored with ‘Persona Identities’, a company funded by Peter Thiel, which has already been cross-referenced with numerous US government databases. This data is shared with any US authorities at their discretion.
And there it is: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/pull/19799
Really not bad to contribute to as open projects go. Worst part was running into someone else who'd fixed the same issue, but then abandoned the PR without a word, and then having to make the declaration that it's code I wrote and am legally allowed to contribute. (Though I remain very skeptical of its validity in court, given that at no point did I ever see a description of what DCO means, I just know it.)
Whatever discord did in this update hanging was so bad that it somehow took the Dock and Finder processes with it, I had to reboot 😒
What worked in the end was a VPN with Tailscale that they don’t know is a VPN IP ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh this is excellent. Can LinkedIn be officially called a honeypot now?
