Good to know, makes me consider closing my account myself. Linkedin always had a bit of a scammy feeling to it. Especially when it comes to recruiters' spam messages.
I did that maybe 10 years ago and haven't had a single opportunity to regret.
Are you concerned now that illegal enterprise now knows your details and can possibly retaliate? Are you easily doxable ?
He'll be fine.

Of all the social networks, I never would've guessed that LinkedIn is the one people turn to when they want to sell drugs.
LinkedIn is closer to Facebook imo. The subreddit /r/linkedinlunatics is pretty funny, and also a bit scary. It's pretty interesting actually, on facebook you see people show off a manufactured persona that is always laughing, on vacation in exotic or glammy places, and on LinkedIn it's the exact same phenomena but the success indicators are different. I'm still a bit clueless on the whole LinkedIn influencer thing t…
I never thought I would say this but LinkedIn seems to have gone even further downhill than it was a few years ago. You know things are bad when even the low end recruiters seem to have left the platform. These days 90% of the contacts/connect requests I receive are from dodgy pension "advisors" trying to get their hands on my pension pot cash.
Not directly related, whenever I get a new connection request, it is hard to tell if a person is real. Particularly if I don't know them first hand. The job history can be fake and profile photo generated by some GAN. It sucks but yeah, then later on they pitch something to you.

I wonder if more those accounts have pro and can see you viewed them recently, probably multiple accounts are owned by the same groups so when they get a report on a bunch of posts they simple map "who looked at both profiles".
They don't even need LinkedIn Pro btw, they just have to turn Private Mode off. If you let other people see that you viewed their profile then LinkedIn will let you see who viewed your profile. So yeah your theory seems most likely unless OP had Private Mode turned on for his profile (then they wouldn't be able to see that he saw their profile regardless of whether or not they have LinkedIn Pro).
I think after a social media network reaches X or XX number of million users, all users should have the right to appeal getting blocked / deleted / removed arbitration by an independent third party
