WHENEVER LinkedIn send an email notification, the other side of the computer there’s probably annoyed a recipient to receive it. That is why the United States a group of members in California sued the social network that connects with the world of work and has prevailed. LinkedIn will have to pay $ 13 million to settle a class action because of its ‘spam’, ie the unauthorized mail in which he urged the contacts of its users to connect to the platform. Subject of the case, which began in 2013, is the “Add Connections”, with which the subscriber gives the company access to their contacts and permission to invite them on LinkedIn in your name. The operation is simple The contacts of a joined LinkedIn receive a first email in which the user registered the company says it wants to stay in touch through the platform. In the absence of a response, then sends LinkedIn two reminder emails, explaining that the user is waiting for a response. According to the US courts, the platform would not be authorized to send reminder messages. LinkedIn has always denied the charges and later updated the information on “Add Connections” to specify the sending of the two further emails. However, the company said in a statement reported by the Wall Street Journal , “we decided to settle the case so that we can focus on what matters most: finding additional ways to improve the experience of our members. “ Each user will receive about 1,500 dollars in compensation although this amount may change depending on how many people will join the class action at a later time.
