LinkedIn app asks for permission to impersonate you?
3 points by auctiontheory on July 9, 2013 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
LinkedIn lets apps request to "Send messages and invitations to connect as you." FounderDating is one app that requests such permissions. Does this seem a reasonable risk? (Seems sketchy to me.)


I wouldn't let anyone impresonate me, I barely trust myself with my own image!
