LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer

LinkedIn is using invasive techniques to fingerprint your browser. Together with its understanding of your identity and professional history, it has the ingredients for an incredibly detailed profile.

Thank you.

I am wondering whether „fingerprinting“ is the right term here.
In the advertising space, fingerprinting is used to identify users - or at least understand which activities originate from the same person. But LinkedIn should be all logged-in activity.
Isn’t this technology used by LinkedIn about „scraping additional information“. From what I understand, the technology isn’t used to follow users across the web.
