INFO: Warning! Check your account settings on Linked-In!!

[Guest guest]

Dear Listmates,

This message is aimed at our colleagues

1. who have an account on Linked-In (even a " basic/non-paying " one)

2. who are not (yet) on my Linked-In contact list (I already warned

those who are on this list)

Please, read the following and be careful :

- I received the following very helpful message from a contact and am

forwarding it for your awareness and consideration.

" Without attracting too much publicity, LinkedIn has updated their

privacy conditions last summer. Without any action from your side,

LinkedIn is now allowed to use your name and picture in any of their

advertisements!

Some simple actions to be considered:

1. Place the cursor on your name at the top right corner of the Linkedin

screen. In the pull down menu , select " settings "

2. Then click " Account " on the bottom left of the screen

3. In the column next to Account, select the option " Manage Social

Advertising "

4. Finally un-tick the box " LinkedIn may use my name and photo in social

advertising "

5. and Save

How to inform your connections? Simple: Via Inbox >Compose message , you

can send a message to up to 50 connections at once. I am sure all of

them will appreciate being informed.

Have a nice day
