What private info is on LinkedIn? I thought the whole point was to make your resume public and get found by employers.

Yeah it's the only public social media I have with any personal information. If it leaks I'm fine with that because I use VPN and even have my email alias on there.

LinkedIn sells the info themselves, they don't let the general public easily scrape/access it
