Subject: An Open Letter
Dear LinkedIn:

No, you may not have my biometric information. No one but the US State Department gets that (and I'm not too happy with them, either)

Apparently you're insecure enough in your own security to now -- ten years in -- be requesting my irreplaceable, unique biometrics to add to your presumably hackable system.

All I need to do is send you a selfie with my drivers' license, which (by reading the fine print) is then subcontracted to some outfit I've never heard of, who really really swears that all information will be deleted in, oh, six months.

Uh-huh.

I somehow managed without your product for fifty-odd years, and will now try to muddle through from here also without you.

(and the same to you, Mr Venmo)
