Well now it is time to delete my LinkedIn account. There terms and services say that would not allow people to steal my information and that my information is my own. I have never agreed for my info to be resold by HiQ. Now that it is illegal for LinkedIn to protect me from HiQ's theft the only option I have is to drop LinkedIn.

I believe it's done only on publicly visible accounts, modify your privacy settings _if_ you don't want to go all the way to deactivation.
