Founded in 2002, LinkedIn is a social media platform for professional networking, and has been known for its Dark Patterns. Users register on LinkedIn with an email, which LinkedIn then scrapes their contacts list and uploads this information to LinkedIn[1].

LinkedIn also makes it difficult to cancel their free trial membership, preying upon users forgetting or not being able to locate the cancel page[2].

LinkedIn's membership price has also quintupled from $10 per month in 2018 to $50 in 2024.
