Careers 2.0 Profile Privacy - How to disagree?

Question

Update on Careers 2.0 Profiles:

We've decided to discontinue a feature that allows Careers 2.0 candidates to mark individual fields of their profile as private. We've noticed that you're profile is currently designated as public, but has at least one field marked private. In order to be sure your privacy is protected, we will be marking yours and all other profiles that are using this feature as private by Friday, July 6th.

So how do we say "This is a really bad idea and I'm against it?"

Reasons:

I'd like my profile to be searchable, but I'm uncomfortable with everyone on the Internet knowing the details of my employment history.

In today's world "less control of our privacy" is not something I like.

EDIT: It appears there is already a feature request: Please preserve the "customize public view" feature

Answer 1

Create a feature-request!

But first, the backstory:

A year ago, we quietly disabled this feature. Anyone who had previously marked a field private still saw it, and everyone else never even saw the option¹. In one year, we've received zero requests for this. Therefore, we concluded that this is an unnecessary feature.

We could definitely be wrong, but this has been off for basically a year. In that time people have created tens of thousands of profiles and nobody missed it.

^{1 This is why so many people are saying "What? I don't even see this option? Where is it?"}
