The security and privacy concerns that I have with LinkedIn

I have been monitoring the operation of LinkedIn as a Social Networking  platform for  a number of years and I am not sure that it is really beneficial for its users. My observations are that LinkedIn is less than beneficial as it attempts to lure its users to enter information on themselves that LinkedIn can use for their own use.

I have posted on this subject on my website and gave examples of why I arrived at this conclusion. The major issue that I have with LinkedIn is the way that they collect information on their users.
