I tend to be pessimistic about these things, but dystopian fiction will do that to you. Here's my prediction:

- Microsoft will have direct access to accounts instead of needing to scrape

- Microsoft will create shadow accounts on LinkedIn for people it cannot directly identify, else there will be shadow profiles of yourself you cannot see

- Microsoft will be able to keep statistics on how many LoC you write in each language and even number of defects/warnings per XX lines of code fresh (every git push !)

- Recruiters will pay big for this data to find you and spam the shit out of you

- This data will directly affect your salary range for job offers (fucking bullshit)

- Microsoft and LinkedIn will become the largest tech recruiting firm in the world

I hope I'm wrong
