> I'm surprised people still use LinkedIn, in spite of knowing how scummy they are.

Linkedin is great, at what it's for. As much as I dislike the "you're holding it wrong" argument, if anyone is posting personal information on linkedin and expecting it to be private, they are doing it wrong. That's not the purpose of linkedin.

> the same people who wouldn't hesitate to criticize Meta for their privacy violations

Certainly. The intent of facebook is to post private information about personal life and share it only with friends. Whenever they violate that trust, there's plenty to criticize.

With linkedin the purpose is to post public professional info with the goal of advertising yourself to the world. There's no privacy violation because the goal was to be public.
