So I get the fact the recruitment agents I have never met or interacted with want to connect with me on LI as its a business enabling tool, fine. But recently I have had techies who I don't know from Adam trying to connect with me, question is why? It serves no purpose and if I don't know you there is no chance I will accept so again why bother?!?

See now I am the other way, I will happy accept anyone who wants to Link with me, why because you never know what could happen, higher visibility to people who might be useful for you, also if you link with people in a similar field you can keep an eye on the competition, see what they are commenting on, posting etc.
A few key settings to make sure you only share what you want people to see, keep it professional (no like if you are a genius type updates) and I don't see any problem with it.Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?
I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.Comment
