Ah, someone on another list found that as of today, LinkedIn is back 
pedaling :-)

Subject: new-ish LinkedIn privacy setting - you'll likely want to opt out

Hello, writers,

(Sorry for the cross-posting; I want to tell as many people as possible so 
those of you on multiple lists will receive this multiple times.)

I just learned that LinkedIn recently made a change to their privacy 
settings, and unless you know about it and change it, the default setting 
allows your name and photo to be used for third-party advertising.

LinkedIn didnât publicize it much of course. So youâll likely want to read 
this, and likely want to opt-out!

Hereâs the info:

and a follow-up post,
