That reminds me... today some license term changes from linkedin landed in 
my inbox, and apparently all your thoughts, texts and data will now be 
used for linkedin business development, and I assume, AI training.

But don't worry... linkedin (Microsoft) has _proactively_ added an 
_opt-out_ button, because obviously adding an opt-in would be way too 
reactive. ;)

Fortunately at least this practice is illegal in the EU, so there they 
cannot do this.
