    Uncompany them.
    Ensure they can never exist again.

    Great reporting. Naming and shaming can work.

    Linked in requires you to provide your email then you get to go through some hoops to opt out. All the while it tries to act like it is the beacon of privacy. I will no longer read articles from them. Not that I ever really did much.
