This is just basically the data that's publicly available anyway unless you've locked down your profile. That sort of defeats the purpose of LinkedIn though since you're trying to get people to contact you about jobs etc.
I wish LinkedIn would just go away, it's turning less into a job specific site and more of another facebook full of idiotic political posts etc. I'd rather not have to deal with it at all but it seems employers still sort of expect you to use it.
My actual goal with LinkedIn is to be able to search people whom I have worked with that now work with some random company I am curious in now. “Oh, huh, LinkedIn had a leak, who do I know there, oh, they were reasonable people, probably an error then.” I must confess a certain curiosity on the inferred salaries I wonder how accurate they are and if we will see the whole data dump at some point.
