Doesn’t seem to be a actual data leak , but a collection of scraped LinkedIn user data.
Interesting to see if the data includes profiles that aren’t publicly viewable.
As long as what is scraped is what is publicly available, I'd agree. If it accesses data otherwise locked to "visible to contacts" or the likes, then I would no longer consider it scraping.
(not saying this goes against what you said, but I'd like to add some nuance to the inequality)
