LinkedIn Accused of Spying on Its Users
"BrowserGate's report claims that Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history, alleging that a hidden code collects software data from users' computers."
"LinkedIn responded to the allegations by stating, 'This is a house of cards built entirely on a fabrication,' emphasizing their disclosure of scanning for browser extensions in their Privacy Policy."
LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft, is accused by BrowserGate of running a corporate espionage operation by collecting data on users' installed software. The allegations state that a hidden code sends this information to LinkedIn servers and third-party providers whenever users access the platform. BrowserGate represents commercial LinkedIn users and claims the spying activities affect all users globally. LinkedIn has denied these allegations, asserting that they scan for browser extensions to prevent abuse and maintain site stability, while suggesting that the accusations stem from a prior dispute with Teamfluence.
