ok, quick follow-up screenshots to show that:
Those behind browsergate.eu and fairlinked.eu are in fact the same people behind "Teamfluence", the scraper/automation/etc addon company listed as bringing the lawsuit against LinkedIn
Teamfluence was also the company mentioned and (poorly) redacted in the legal docs browsergate.eu offers up the LinkedIn employee's
So basically, Teamfluence was scraping data from LinkedIn, got blocked for it, and now are trying to get this trumped-up campaign going to [checks notes] try to be able to automate scraping vacuuming up peoples' LinkedIn data again. I'm no fan of Microsoft or LinkedIn, but the purpose of their detection methods here seem to be preventing addons like Teamfluence which harm both them and LinkedIn's users
(note: I was drafting this last night, but was looking for more info still - credit to William O'Connell on bsky for discovering and posting the screenshot of the court document that is now the 4th screenshot in this post)
