I closed my LinkedIn account and moved to the German Xing. It was the only EU solution I could found that resembled the US one.

How did you register? I'm not receiving registration emails from Xing, nor error messages. Proton mail and Firefox. Disabling adbloxk and tracking protection does not change this.
