It's not surprising. LinkedIn has been shady from the start.
People shouldn't forget that they used to scrape your contacts from your email account through some sneaky user flow that got you to give them your email password.
- jjbinx007 4y agoThis is the main reason I will never use LinkedIn. Context: https://medium.com/@danrschlosser/linkedin-dark-patterns-3ae726fe1462 https://medium.com/@danrschlosser/linkedin-dark-patterns-3ae...
- encryptluks2 4y agoI always set my LinkedIn at the max privacy. I deleted my LinkedIn account over 8 months ago. I still get spam from recruiters in my email that uses my LinkedIn name which is different than my real name. LinkedIn definitely does not follow privacy settings.
