Well I can see your point, but this is not exactly the same.

As a thought experiment imagine that someone now builds a website called Linkedout and they post your profile with a layover animation resembling a big red stamp which reads 'Slacker'. I guess you are not OK with THAT information about you.

Oh funny I actually thought about same name

LinkedOut: A decentralized 'paid' job profile site for professionals, not recruiters. Where you decide who can see your profile/data and contact you.

I might just build this,but with a better name, lol

Isn't that what someone that works at Slack? If they're getting basic employment details that badly wrong, then they're not very useful.
