How did this "Connections in the news" feature use a person's name and surname to uniquely identify them? This is appallingly asinine, as this example indicates. My name is as generic as they come, and so this is a risk for me. I wonder if LinkedIn were to group its members by name and count them, how many people (excluding those not on LinkedIn) would actually be uniquely determined by a name/surname combo? A quick search for "William Johnson" yields 7,476 results. Why didn't LinkedIn even ask this guy to confirm if he was indeed that William Johnson in the news? What an absolute fuck-up.
