I must share this with you:
Linkedin
It is possible that we may need to disclose personal information, profile information, or information about your activities as a LinkedIn Member when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if LinkedIn has a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies; (2) enforce the User Agreement, investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, or protect the security or integrity of our Service; or (3) exercise or protect the rights, property, or safety of LinkedIn, our Members, personnel, or others.

Additionally, you grant LinkedIn a nonexclusive, irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual, unlimited, assignable, sublicenseable, fully paid up and royalty-free right to us to copy, prepare derivative works of, improve, distribute, publish, remove, retain, add, process, analyze, use and commercialize, in any way now known or in the future discovered, any information you provide, directly or indirectly to LinkedIn, including, but not limited to, any user generated content, ideas, concepts, techniques and/or data to the services, you submit to LinkedIn, without any further consent, notice and/or compensation to you or to any third parties. Any information you submit to us is at your own risk of loss. By providing information to us, you represent and warrant that you are entitled to submit the information and that the information is accurate, not confidential, and not in violation of any contractual restrictions or other third party rights. It is your responsibility to keep your LinkedIn profile information accurate and updated.


If you rephrase this way:

It is possible that we may need to disclose personal information, profile information, or information about your activities as a LinkedIn Member ... to assist government enforcement agencies;

worldwide, perpetual, unlimited, assignable, sublicenseable, ...
They have CHILDREN employed at Legal Office ??!?!?


process, analyze, use and commercialize, ...
in any way now known or in the future discovered, ...
I must include this in all my future agreements !

Any information you submit to us is at your own risk of loss.

As most "agreements" in software industry, I strongly doubt that this can be legal and enforceable. Nevertheless, Linkedin will probably run data mining techniques to obtain the most they can form their database.
