LinkedIn's biometric verification will prioritize your profile in search results

I am surprised how companies and governments fail to grasp how exhausting this is. LinkedIn is deaf to this exhaustion.<p>Figure out how to verify me without providing a copy of my &quot;photo of your identification document&quot;, my &quot;biometric chip in [my] ID&quot;, and &quot;selfie&quot;.<p>I am willing to bet within a short time the information will be used to aggregate and interlink data for a profile of me from multiple resources, not just LinkedIn. Biometrics are one of the things that cannot be changed like a password or PIN. I am not adding this much detail into LinkedIn.<p>I have not forgotten the breaches of LinkedIn in 2012 and two in 2021. I have not seen any public reassurance that those breaches have been corrected.<p>So my final idea, if an organization had a breach, they have to publish to everyone what they have done. It has to include a third-party audit.
