Somewhat surprised Microsoft haven't done something about this since they bought LinkedIn. It surely doesn't reflect well on their brand.

Are people at Microsoft OK with working alongside people who do this scummy stuff?



Actually this is a perfect fit. Microsoft is a big user of dark patterns - many examples of how they push windows 10 telemetry and other products like browsers, Microsoft teams installations are well documented. It’s almost like a match made in heaven. https://www.cnet.com/news/facebook-google-and-microsoft-tric...
