LinkedIn:
Privacy Guide

What is LinkedIn? LinkedIn is a social network for professionals to connect, share, and learn. You can think of LinkedIn as the high-tech equivalent of going to a traditional networking event where you go and meet other professionals in person, talk a little bit about what you do, and exchange business cards. It's like one big virtual networking event.

​

Despite being one of the most popular social platforms today, many people still have no idea what LinkedIn is supposed to be used for or how they might benefit from being on it and privacy concerns.
