The social aspect is not what worries me. I just don't like signing in somewhere I've never been before and they hook me up with people I already know or met. That's a bit spooky. I don't know them but they know who I am, who I met and my preferences before even asking me one single question.
I think Google [is your friend
] for one has collected a huge amount of intel over the years, browsing habits, etc... with their ID cookies, you name it, about pretty much anybody who's been using them(i.e. 100% of people
) . The data harvested is shared/sold behind the scenes obviously so god knows what else they do with it. Whether it's Linkedin or other, I'd put them all in the same bag.
Then I hear privacy laws and star laughing...
