Linkedin: LinkedIn is considered to be the largest professional networking platform for job search. But soon the company is going to make some changes about this app, which may put the privacy of users in danger. Yes, in fact, the company is going to make major changes in the privacy policy. The company has announced that from November 3, Microsoft will be allowed to use users’ data which will be used to train AI models and for personified advertisements.

According to LinkedIn, data like profile, work history, education details, posts and comments will be used. However, the company has made it clear that private messages will be completely safe and they will not be shared in any way.

Two major changes in policy update

This change includes two important parts, first, it will be used to improve the activity and information of users to improve content-generating AI models. Apart from this, Microsoft and its partners will get access to user data so that advertisements can be made even more personal.

How to do opt-out?

Linkedin has given users the option of Opt-out so that they can prevent their data from being used for AI training or advertisements if they want. Users can withdraw their consent at any time but keep in mind that the data shared before November 3 can be used in training until you opt-out.

AI way of getting out of training

• Open the LinkedIn account and go to Settings & Privacy.
• Choose Data Privacy section.
• Click on how linkedin uses your data.
• Close Data for General AI Improvement option.

This option remains on by default. Closing it will not stop Linkedin’s AI facilities, just your personal data will not be used for training.

How to stop data sharing for advertisements

Go to your linkedin account settings.

Open the Advertising Data section.

Close the default on option present there so that your data is not given to Microsoft for personalized advertisements.

In which countries will the new policy be implemented?

This change will only be applicable in EU, EEA, UK, Switzerland, Canada and Hong Kong. Advertising data sharing updates with Microsoft will be applicable in the US and most other countries. But due to the stringent privacy law in EU, UK and Switzerland, this rule will not apply there.

This step of Linkedin is not a unique initiative. Already Google uses data for its Gemini model and uses information about Meta, Facebook and Instagram in AI training.

US President Donald Trump said on Friday (September 19) that the tick talk deal with China has been approved. He gave this information after a phone conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump also stated that he would visit China early next year and meet Xi Jinping at the regional summit in South Korea in late October.

Trump wrote on Truth Social, “The conversation was very good. We will talk on the phone again. I thank you for the approval of Tik Talk and both of us are eager to meet the APEC conference.” APEC means Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation is an organization of 21 economies in the Pacific region.

President Xi Jinping emphasized bilateral relations

According to China’s official news agency Xinhua, President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of bilateral relations and appealed to the US to avoid unilateral trade ban.

This conversation took place at a time when Tariff War (Fee War), which began during Trump’s tenure, made the relationship between the two countries tense. However, this time the two leaders also discussed trade and tried to reduce the tension made on China’s restrictions on export of rare minerals. These minerals are used from smartphones to fighter jets.

Trump said this big thing

Trump said that although he had demanded European countries to impose more charges on China so that the Russian-Ukraine war would end, but his relationship with China is very good. Trump claimed Tik Talk as great importance, claiming that it helped him win the election again. He had increased the deadline several times to keep the app operational in America. In fact, last year, under the US Act, it was made mandatory to separate the tick talk from the Chinese parent company bytedens so that the concerns arising about data privacy and national security could be resolved.

Chinese officials said that both sides have agreed to use algorithms such as intellectual property rights and have also agreed to hand over the responsibility of data and content security of American users to a partner.
