> asking to send a spreadsheet listing every legitimate employee . . . that were not on the company’s list That's not the way data privacy works. Rather than giving up all your employees like that, properly put the onus on LinkedIn not to *libel* you by publishing false claims about your business. > We do stop . . . around 96% of fake accounts Why do companies say things like this as if they were bragging about doing a good job rather than realizing they're admitting to doing a *terrible* job? The fullness of their statement is essentially: "You know those 12,700 fake accounts you personally noticed? Well, our garbage system was really allowing around 325,000 fake accounts to get created!" There's no reason to think this isn't in some way intentional by LinkedIn, for whatever reason. It's trivially easy to put measures in place to stop this far beyond a simple "created on" date. I mean, the whole site is the network effect in action, and they're allowing anyone to claim a connected node? That's a level of ineptitude that rises to the level of malicious/nefarious. No organization that values competence should be dealing with LinkedIn. 4f2bf113792233ce003f1f723a343dc09da025d262956cdd48821d820674dff6
