Hacker News: simpleusernamehttps://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=simpleusernameHacker News RSShttps://hnrss.org/hnrss v2.1.1Fri, 29 May 2026 20:03:55 +0000<![CDATA[New comment by simpleusername in "I verified my LinkedIn identity. Here's what I handed over"]]>I suddenly had my account locked down unless I provide my government ID, just like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44435997.

Never did LinkedIn state it was Persona carrying out the validation, and in the email they stated the data would be promptly deleted. I'm now learning this is not true; companies removed from LinkedIn store my data for however long they want.

I feel this is solid grounds for a lawsuit, particularly in states such as California.
