Hacker News Reader

I don’t think that’s fair to say. I signed up for LinkedIn to publish data to the public that I’m comfortable publishing. I understand that this means random jabronis emailing me and put info out accordingly.

I’m not sure how many people feel like me or feel something else. But I don’t think it’s possible to say people post public profiles only for humans to read. I’m really glad my profile gets harvested by google and DDG and have a public email on purpose.

Yeah, we signed up to have that happen inside of the platform, not outside of it.

Emails are not exposed in public profiles..

That's true to a point. Most workplaces use a standardized format for email addresses. If you have somebody's name, you can send them official looking spam.
