Today, I want to share updates we are making to better protect you against unauthorized scraping so you can focus on finding your next dream job, building connections and sharing your expertise with your professional community. Starting today, we are updating our systems to better prevent unauthorized extensions from scraping data.
"bad actors use tools to gather people’s personal information without their consent" what does big companies like FANGs do?
So happy to hear this Oscar Rodriguez. Many of these scraping apps use fingerprint blockers, so they can do their dirty work and leave the Member hanging when their nefarious automation is detected. How will Members be protected from this issue? Is it possible to block all apps that block fingerprinting? #KeepRockingLinkedIn! Kevin On a Mission to Eliminate Organizational & Personal Blanding™
Oscar Rodriguez love your leadership

8moThe LinkedIn dBase is in the public domain because of user ignorance of settings, apathy and has it been indexed by Internet browsers and others for years. A simple Boolean or term search alot. Copying of a limited data set is legal as LinkedIn know. The fact LinkedIn condone companies to tag, track data, interactions or support the use of 3rd party api`s from LinkedIn integration into Microsoft O365, recruiter platforms and more raises another bag of actions to address. One example, a preview of a LinkedIn profile during scheduling of a hiring appointment. A hiring manager can decline it leading to non-compliance or discrimmination based on a 10 second look at a simple profile. No need to click on the documents attached. LinkedIn is a Microsoft group company after all - living under threat of being broken up into an umbrella brand and a subset of apps within the MS landscape. So as you blow your trumpet to announce the changes, it would be great if you could also ensure you clearly explain to ALL users of the change and the overhaul of the user agreement impact backed up with up to date support page content (which you know this site lacks). That alone would be a first in the total history of LinkedIn. Thank you.
