    I just invoked my GDPR right to delete/close my account: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a1379064/ and got this result:

    Your LinkedIn account is now closed. Although you no longer have access to it, it’ll take a few weeks for your public profile to disappear from search engines. Your data will be deleted as described in section 4.3 of our Privacy Policy

    So at least this still works.

      …it’ll take a few weeks …

      So this means I should poison all my data before deleting it? Is there a script for that?

        There were a few sites that would run scripts for you during Rexxit. The one I used would poison your data at random times over a few days to be sure of infecting backups. The last round was a deliberate violation of the TOS and offensive enough to force them to remove it immediately. Worked like a charm, as I recall.
