You can decide to not use linked in, and use a service that does not make profiles public.

Even better, the decision here is only concerning profiles of people who have elected to make that profile public. It's very simple to make your LinkedIn profile private.
The concern I had is that the court forces LinkedIn profiles public regardless of user settings. Courts sometimes go a little further. I'm sure LinkedIn will do their best to not allow private profiles to be crawled.
The challenge for LinkedIn is that they still want google to crawl them.
