Hey @lunchclubai looks like you're emailing my gmail contacts with invites to join without permission. Not okay. I'm revoking access and warning people I recommended this to. The first time I logged in, the contacts-access thing was skippable but the second time it was not.

Update: based on DM conversation, looks like the combination of a bug causing the unskippable contacts permission, combined with how they use LinkedIn to send invites (presumably connections of recent signups) might have made it look like gmail contacts were being spammed.

If so, still kinda feels sketchy to me to use LinkedIn that way, since it’s getting at the addressbook by other means, but it’s not as bad as stealth addressbook spamming. I’ll post an update to this thread after final resolution.

Update #2: the LinkedIn effect may just be a coincidence so I’m extending benefit of doubt here

The oldest, saddest trick in the book: spam the 'ol contacts book. No one has any creativity anymore.
