I have a LinkedIn account which is
- 5 years old.
- both SMS and Gmail verified (via code).
- all information filled (experience, personal, jobs, profile photo etc).
- all information are real.
- I logged-in million times to account from my home (without virtual-private-network).
- My account is cached by Google.
The Gmail account which verified by LinkedIn:
- I also have buy with my personal credit card a google-service (its not important which service).
- my phone number and Gmail is already verified by my government’s national-digital-system (I am legally the responsible of this gmail and mobile number).
Depending on the above information
- A- I think my account is already linked with me by big-brothers.
- B- If something bad happens legally, I can never say that “this account does not belong to me”. I already talked this topic with different lawyers.
Therefore I don’t see any reason to do not verify the account.
My questions
I would like to hear your thoughts about below questions:
- 1- should I have privacy concerns if I verify my account via national-identity card?
- 2- should I have privacy concerns if I verify only “workplace verification”. Because it only sends a code to my company email. No identity card needed. No additional steps.

You could ditch gmail and run your own VPS with a mail server and website and move your Linkedin CV data to your own site.
