LinkedIn: Do Not Permit Anonymous Viewing of A Member's Profile

LinkedIn must not allow individuals or organizations to view a member's profile anonymously unless a member grants permission to do so. Every member has the right to know who viewed their profile.

Why is this important?

LinkedIn is popular because its networks are open and transparent. Few, if any, want their profile to be viewed anonymously. I posted a question about this on the LinkedIn Help community.

The overwhelming response from LinkedIn users shows that many are opposed to this feature. We are requesting LinkedIn to stop allowing anonymous viewing of a member's profile as a feature unless the member authorizes it.
