To broaden my point, I think we’d find that many websites we use are doing this. My point isn’t that this is acceptable or that we shouldn’t push back against it. We should. My point is that this doesn’t sound particularly surprising or unique to LinkedIn, and that the framing of the article seems a bit misleading as a result. | ||||||||||||||||||||

I've love it if LinkedIn got successfully sued for millions and it resulted in similar lawsuits against every other website that did this sort of thing. | ||||||||||||||||||||

> To broaden my point, I think we’d find that many websites we use are doing this. Your point of "I think we’d find that many websites we use are doing this" doesn't make LinkedIn's behavior ok! By your logic, if our privacy rights are invaded which is illegal in most jurisdiction, and then it become ok because many companies do illegal things?? | ||||||||||||||||||||
