It is a third party exploiting LinkedIn&#x27;s tracking to monitor and expose identifiable information about who is visiting their website that LinkedIn probably didn&#x27;t intend to be public.<p>Obviously, there are lots of trackers out there. But the fact that those trackers exist, and we&#x27;re sorta, kinda, maybe ok with it, or at least resigned to it--that doesn&#x27;t imply that we&#x27;re ok with any third party using leaks of that information to track us.<p>Probably the reasonable thing to do is say &quot;if we&#x27;re ok with X tracking us, we&#x27;re ok with everyone tracking us, because the information will leak.&quot; But that&#x27;s not the same as saying it&#x27;s ok for everyone to try and make it leak.<p>It wouldn&#x27;t at all surprise me if it&#x27;s against LinkedIn&#x27;s TOS, and the author admits as much.<p>What about this is not unethical?
