The shadiest thing LinkedIn has ever done with user data is buttress their recommendation algorithms. I used to work there and trust me the data we have on customers is neither nefarious nor used for shady things other than growth. The dark patterns deserve their criticism but we have a very minimal picture of someone’s life other than a resume and business connections.

- cookingrobot 7y agoLinkedIn once asked if I wanted to see what contacts I knew in the network. I clicked ok to connect to my email, and it immediately sent an email to everyone in my email history. It pretended to be written by me, saying I wanted to reconnect. It sent it to everyone - every old landlord, ever ex, every business contact, everyone. It was literally identity theft. That's a dark pattern.
