I guess you also received the Linkedin Gaming spam a couple of weeks ago?

I opted out of almost every category and I never opted in to a category like that. So why is there now a new category which I have to opt out of?

It seems to me blatant, unpunished disregard of GDPR - but their whole business was founded on abuse of emails and there's no reason to expect a Microsoft acquisition to make a company act more in line with the law.



That gaming email took me mentally straight back to Facebook circa 2009, and not in a good way. LinkedIn always serves as a fantastic example of exactly how not to treat your users.
