Assuming that most people would not be comfortable with walking through a city square with their email address taped on their back, how do users justify sharing personal contact information (attached to their academic and professional profiles) in posts that are known to go viral? Has LinkedIn enforced any measures to prohibit unwarranted mass data collection for profit?
