In an email to business website Quartz, Mark Weidick, the CEO of hiQ Labs stated:
"We understand LinkedIn wants to get into our business, and that’s fine. But LinkedIn is trying to illegally force out a smaller competitor so that they can have the business for themselves, plain and simple."However, LinkedIn have told the courts (via The Wall Street Journal) that:
"If LinkedIn members knew that hiQ was accessing and collecting their data in this manner, many would not update their profiles."So for now, if you have a profile on LinkedIn, already have a job and are updating that profile, your bosses could be informed that you are doing it to gear up and start looking for a new job.
