LinkedIn is public info. Anyone who posts publicly viewable info on the Internet has accepted the fact that it will circulate beyond their intended audience. If you are so against "scraping" or whatever arbitrary definition you came up with, don't post here either.
And how do you know these people didn't consent to having their info aggregated on that site? It's an additional way of outreach to employers who are most likely to be sensible if they are looking at that site. The vast majority of layoffs over this past year and half have nothing to do with employees' personal performance. It's not that embarrassing to share.
>Like if someone scraped images of their friends from Facebook and posted it to a different site with some commentary
This already happens and has happened for as long as FB's existence as a major website. In fact, a major web page indexing platform whose brand name starts with a G and ends with an E "scrapes" pictures from FB all the time. Why don't you take the issue to them?
