But if you register for real, you are just a chump!
Just like facebook, LinkedIn is full of information freely given by its members. This information can be searched by everyone....including for nefarious purposes.
I would not put it past eveil, deep state government officials at any level to try and use this information to force further leftist ideology onto us.

Like google it appears they may have members who haven’t joined who have 0-1 connections, and sometimes no information on them and that they have these members there as Zuckerburg said, “for security reasons”.
Uhh--I don't know--maybe because they are hiring?
The LinkedIn CEO and founder is one of the most outspoken anti-trump Executives in America.
Have you searched for people with the same last name as yours? You’ll probably get dozens of hits.
I’m in linked-in. There’s several reasons why you would turn up.
1) You have the same name as somebody they were searching for.
2) They were looking to hire somebody, and you appeared on their list of contacts.
Now, if some law enforcement organization was looking for you in the context of an investigation, their query would NOT appear on the list of people searching your name.
Yes, I’ve received that email and yes, I went to see who it was searching for me. Two random companies in another part of this country in different business sectors than my profession. It’s nothing more than a marketing email. Ignore and Delete it the next time you see it in your inbox.
So does this thread.
Maybe you fit the criteria they were looking for, to some degree, in a job search?
It was probably individuals employees who worked there.
I do a lot of IT consulting for Alabama Mental Health and other state agencies, and I have to confess many of them are idiots. I’m grateful, though, because they need my help more...
I see them goofing off most of the time in their workspaces. Surfing the Internet, Face Book, Reddit, etc. Making calls on their cell phones, chatting it up with each other, going and coming on/off breaks, long lunches, etc.
Good post. An electronic curtain has descended over the republic.
The searchers were:
Alabama Department of Mental Health and Veterans Evaluation Services
They concluded you were nuts.
They will be sending the guys with the white coats and net to your home soon.
