maybe so, but Cory's post says (minus the bullshit):

All the claims are totally correct, but we tried super duper hard (though we sure as hell aren't going to put our money on the line if we're wrong) to make this secure. And if we don't keep this up, or if we do get hacked? Ain't our problem.

I don't see any bullshit in that post at all. What bullshit do you see? Maybe I can spot terms of art that you missed.

I also don't see him saying "ain't our problem" anywhere.

Its a response that doesn't address most of the criticisms and attempts to deflect them into an argument about how supposedly secure their systems are instead of addressing the concerns about the system period.

And not only the post but the linked privacy policy consist entirely of weasel language. eg:

   Do you store my email or my password?
   LinkedIn servers will temporarily cache information in order to provide you 
   with the fastest service possible. Here are the full details:
   
   During installation, the servers temporarily cache your password in order to 
   add a new Mail account to your device. Your password is only cached for the 
   length of time it takes to install Intro, and never for more than 2 hours. 
   Typically, your password is cached for no more than 1 minute.
   During usage, the servers may temporarily cache your emails in order to make 
   emails download faster. When your device starts to download a mail folder, 
   such as your inbox, the servers will pre-emptively download and cache recent 
   messages in that folder. A few seconds later, when your device downloads the 
   individual messages, the servers will provide the cached messages. Your 
   messages are only cached until your device downloads them, and never for 
   more than 1 hour. Typically, your messages are cached for no more than a few 
   minutes.
   All cached information is held securely to industry standards. Each piece of 
   data is encrypted with a key that is unique to you and your device, and the 
   servers themselves are secured and monitored 24/7 to prevent any 
   unauthorized access.

>What bullshit do you see?

The biggest issue is the title: "The Facts about...".

Its apparent from the language that the only "facts" discussed are couched in non-falsifiable language, are in the past-tense, and self-referential.

___________

We made sure we built

We isolated

We performed

and we worked...to make sure

We made sure

we make sure we never persist

We worked to help ensure

Although its not clear the author would have picked the language for the title himself (was likely PRs).
