I suddenly had my account locked down unless I provide my government ID, just like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44435997.

Never did LinkedIn state it was Persona carrying out the validation, and in the email they stated the data would be promptly deleted. I'm now learning this is not true; companies removed from LinkedIn store my data for however long they want.

I feel this is solid grounds for a lawsuit, particularly in states such as California.
