LinkedIn has been doing this for years. It's the reason why I don't use it (and the spam they send is the reason why everybody hates them).

- Cthulhu_ 8y agoYou mean emails? I've managed to turn them all off; if that doesn't work, you can file a complaint with the EU who have strict laws against e-mail spam, and the requirement to unsubscribe with as few actions as possible.
- mosselman 8y agoWhere can I file these complaints? I have looked for this before, but wasn’t able to find out
- palunon 8y agoIANAL, but usually you file a complaint with your national regulator, so it would depend on your country (of residence, I guess).
- sofaofthedamned 8y agoYeah i've managed to stop all emails with my active LI account, they do occasionally add stuff that triggers them again so I just go into the settings and they're gone. LI are awful for many reasons, but they do honour these things.
- ams6110 8y agoLinkedIn asks for email passwords? I knew they encouraged uploading your contacts, but didn't realize they wanted your email too. Guess I shouldn't be surprised. If their's any major social media platform less ethical than Facebook it's probably LinkedIn.
- hackinthebochs 8y agoYeah, I'm not seeing where all this moral indignation is suddenly coming from. Asking for email passwords has been a staple for social networks since the beginning.
