Comment on LinkedIn, HiQ spat presents big questions for freedom, innovation

Comments

There's a fine line between limiting the free speech of these personal information aggregators and violating the privacy of people. Right now, there seems to be a lawless and limitless environment for the aggregators. They freely present people's physical address history, phone numbers, relatives, date of birth, etc. to the open web.

I hope some reasonable restraints will be put in place. Something like aggregated address history can only be displayed on official government websites with rate limits.
