LinkedIn is a bit different, as long as you do not engage in it for social purposes.
You put your stuff up, polish it a bit, then leave it alone. You go sniffing there when you want or need a new job, or look at the occasional recruiter trying to bug you to go work for someone else, but that's about it.
Anyone who uses LinkedIn as a social platform to wave their ass on (especially for political reasons) is an idiot.
That's missing the point. You are putting your name and personal details out there. It doesn't take much effort to line up your LinkedIn profile with other social media you use. So even if you DONT put anything in LinkedIn other than your employment and highly personal details you stupidly put in LinkedIn I mentioned above, you can very easily be lined up to your other social media profiles by an attacker.
I think LinkedIn is by far the most dangerous attack vector though, not just for people looking to hurt you for vengeance but for fraud, identity theft and extortion.
What about the vast wealth of information people willingly put up on their LinkedIn profile? You keep ignoring my point about that. It's a perfect trove of info to use for fraud, identity theft and extortion!

Therein lies the trick. Don't use any other social media.
