I’ve been saying this for years: Linked In is a spies dream. A data gold mine.

  Pretty much any social network is a dictator's wet dream. Dictatorships in the past hired entire departments to identify who was linked to who. Nowadays is seems that all it takes to access the same info is sending a legal letter to someone managing a database somewhere.

  Have you been saying similar things about any other companies for years?

    Yes. Google scanning your gmail for targeted advertising. Seems Yahoo has at least fessed up to it.

  And at the end of the day it's just an HR department circle jerk. I am still getting aggressively daily emails from them even though I burned my account a year and a half ago. Report spam is my favorite feature.
