LinkedIn is a socially responsible corporation that is focused on creating the best possible experience for its user base. But the company is merely the platform provider. It cannot (nor should it) police everything that goes on inside the lines. As stipulated in the LinkedIn User Agreement, members are urged to exercise discretion in their online interactions, restrict their connecting to people that they know, and not "harass, abuse, and harm another person." With varying degrees of faith, most LinkedIn users will accept invitations from strangers. Even with tight vetting, some connections may slip past the sentry and commit horrible breaches of professional etiquette.
