I think coinbase is going to pretend like paypal, just like paypal is annoying its users on a number of things.
But for coinbase I have a suggestion; that people will leave you, so stay competitive with bitcoin wallets

I see it more like "Screw users privacy" programme .
was taking Personal identification not enough.
For what the fuck they made customer to fill KYC form if still they don't Know their customer. Today is LinkedIn account tomorrow will be Tinder account.
This is a little much. This seems to be happening more. I am thinking of some apps or websites that you cannot sign up for unless through your facebook account. This will be the norm soon where social media accounts will be a part of identification.

They already tie you to a phone number, bank account and physical address for their verification process. LinkedIn as well? That just seems invasive, not only is there absolutely no need for integration or association between these two services (I don't think people routinely transact on LinkedIn, but I could be wrong). Also, LinkedIn is non verified, user submitted info, why is it even useful? If they were gonna offer this maybe it would have been better with Facebook, or Google +
This will only get worse. Anyone expecting any sort of privacy beyond their local Bitcoin wallet is delusional, your privacy ends as soon as your Bitcoins enter a website that doesn't let you to use a VPN/TOR and that asks for your details, but that's what you get if you want total mainstream adoption I guess. You can always bypass it if you really want to tho.
This is why I use private buyers when I want to sell BTC for any fiat. If a private buyer asks me for a strand of my dna then I can simply go to another one.

I'm pretty sure having someone's name and photo id to prove it is them is more than enough to be in accordance of any KYC laws. But hey, if you can take an arm and a leg from someone why not go for the rest?
The popular Bitcoin exchange and wallet provider, Coinbase, has begun asking for LinkedIn information as part of their ‘Know Your Customer’ programme, for users who use the platform for trading.
