The profiles. You know, the place where I can get the list of people who work for a company and what they do and then email them directly when the company fucked something up and support has failed me.

Would you want to get such a message after you or someone inf your company fucks up? I don't think that's what the goal of a job profile is...

Yes. If customer support doesn't understand that there is a vulnerability on the website, then I would definitely want to know about it

I've emailed CISOs directly this way, who have thanked me.

That case makes sense does make sense. I'm concerned about abuse however. Imagine if you worked for a game company as a dev, put your profile on the fediverse and angry idiots started sending you complaints, spam, or worse. That would drive people away.

On LinkedIn there's some semblance of professionalism in messages (yes I know of the crazies on LinkedIn). Making profiles publicly available to multiple servers will require proper guardrails to prevent abuse and spam.

I dont message them on likedin. I email them off site.

All I need is their first and last name.
