An even scarier trend (hasn't happened to me but a friend of mine) is that a lot of companies want you to give linkedin permissions to post on your behalf for the company's recruiters. I don't know how prevalent that is, but there apparently was a lot of soft pressure applied. "We're a startup and we're having a hard time recruiting. Don't you want this company to succeed? We need to recruit more people, and these linked in campaigns will help."
