Can we also be allowed to view people's profiles without being forced to sign in to LinkedIn? They lost my trust many years ago with their shady practises and 'dark patterns', so I don't want to share any of my data with them.

I however sometimes want to look up people. Or would this be a case of wanting to have my cake and eat it?

There will be a 3rd party service for this once the scraping is legally allowed.
