LinkedIn, a Microsoft-owned company and the largest professional networking site in the world with over 1 billion users, has been slapped with three digital privacy class actions.

"The complaints accuse LinkedIn of accessing users' private personal and health care information, such as gender, sexual orientation and the conditions for which they were seeking treatment, via its tracking tool, the LinkedIn Insight Tag, which was installed on the companies' websites."
