- turk73 7y agoOh, I'm sure they have "crossed lines" if by that you mean, gave data to the intelligence agencies or allowed them to mine all that data in some fashion. I'm sure they have. I am deeply suspicious now of all these social networking sites. We're constructing a digital tyranny the likes of which the world has never seen and you, but more likely your (our) children, and your (our) grandchildren are going to curse us for doing this to them. But if you want less "tinfoil" of a response, I think LinkedIn is a lie in many ways. They make regular people think they can network using this online tool and that networking is easy but the reality is that it is of limited use and that real go-getters network the old-fashioned way.

- AlexandrB 7y agoCollectively people seem have terrible memories. LinkedIn is mega creepy. It was pulling moves like asking for email passwords and then downloading entire contact lists[1] long before Facebook got in trouble for the same thing. Others here have noted LinkedIn’s UI “dark patterns” which are also some of the worst in the social space.
