At the moment of writing I had to go to page 3 of the comments to find the CEO's response:

what most annoyed me about the response was that this criticism:

> making a profile public meant making public that people were job searching

was repeatedly met with this response:

> we're not making any profile details public.

Which avoided what people were upset about. It's talking past the issue and I'm not sure what the expected outcome was, either from this original screw-up or the response.

That’s because people use downvotes as disagreement, when they should be upvoting to make sure it stays visible.
