That's not what I am asking. GP said that this third-party app is violating user privacy, and I am asking for evidence of that. As of now, there's nothing to suggest that the app is doing more than we're led to believe they are. CA went beyond what they claimed they were doing.
That said, while I don't disagree with the point you're making, I disagree with the approach. There's a difference between recognizing that the market is interested in the approach the third-party app is taking and working with them to figure out how to move forward together, and nuking from orbit the unconnected personal accounts of everyone tied to the app on LinkedIn.

Is Meta obligated to work with anyone who wants to? Are they required to dedicate resources to every company that approaches them wanting to partner?

Nope, they sure aren't! Just as they're not obligated to nuke all of the personal accounts for everyone who works for the third-party app.
Not being obligated to do something doesn't mean that one is excluded from looking like an asshole if they don't do that thing.
This is what got Facebook in trouble with the FTC... they allowed developers access to all the users data without oversight. They are required by their settlement to not just trust app devs that they won't abuse the data.
