LinkedIn may or may not be scraping. Just remember that scraping is a pejorative word for what Google does, also known as "indexing".

- abirch 4y agoHistorically LinkedIn and Indeed were my go to places. When I go to LinkedIn and do a job search, I expect that there is really a job and not a job that was removed 2 weeks ago. That the "Date Posted" isn't the "Date Scraped." If LinkedIn started to scrape and have a ton of spam, I simply would no longer use them. My question was to determine if there's an alternative explanation or if they are scraping.
- afiori 4y agoI would differentiate scraping and indexing by how you represent ownership/authorship. Google search results are indexed content. Google magic answer boxes are often scraped content. Taking OP's claim at face value this looks like scraping to me.
