LinkedIn's behavior is driven by profit. They want advertising money and are willing to sacrifice their users for that, just like Google, Facebook and more recently Microsoft, which happens to own LinkedIn.
This person probably just wants to work on interesting things (for them) and get paid well, just like the thousands of employees at the other companies I mentioned. Fighting for ethical software doesn't pay. Nor does it make one particularly popular.
