Comment on LinkedIn accesses Gmail contacts via ‘auto-authorization’

Comments

This is hilarious - relevant snippet from support conversation from article:

"if you had at any time your LinkedIn account open and accessed any of your emails through the same browser…In order from preventing this from happening again, you will want to be careful to not open up your personal email address in the same browser when you have your LinkedIn account open.’"

followed by: "We are not doing this to invade your privacy, we are doing this to assist you in growing your network."
