To all people out there that say “you are making your email public by pushing it to github”, please remember that just because something is on the internet doesn’t give you absolutely any right to use it. That’s the big deal here.

Last I checked CA law (an ethics class), a computer permission setting explicitly does not grant actual permission to use a computer. Given that the TOS explicitly prohibits the use of the API for selling info to recruiters, it may be construable that this was hacking. Not sure that Microsoft, the owner of both GitHub and LinkedIn, would cooperate with a claim that a recruiter hacked their dev network.

It's the Internet... back when dialup was a thing... most users understood when you share something on the Internet... It's shared on THE INTERNET... if you don't want people knowing something about you then don't publish it on the INTERNET!!! Seems like some have forgotten this Golden Rule... #privilegeMuch #OpSecFail #thoughtprogrammersweresmart
