I certainly never checked that box. Facebook has been known to “go Rambo” on user privacy, but it seems that LinkedIn may just be following the same path. It seems that by default, accounts are setup to agree to this: “LinkedIn my use my name, photo in social advertising”. I just checked my account (opened a long time ago), and that's true (at least, in my case).
To be honest, I'm not quite sure when this has started and I learned about it after Sophos, posted on their “naked security” blog. Frankly, I find this unbelievable.
