- I want my data to be publicly available
- I don't want my data to be processed/distributed/sold without my permission
E.g. individual use is fine, profit making is not.
Which is my expectation with LinkedIn. I want people to see my profile, I don't want them to sell it as marketing leads!
If scraping on linked-in is banned (and linked-in is enforcing it), then I do have have control of my data, since I can change the setting, and it will no longer be public (It's not perfect, since some might already scraped it, but the extend would be much smaller). Also, if I decide to delete my data, linked can do that for data it control, but not for scraped data.
