Linkedin plugin returns contacts w/ firstname/lastname of private #297

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. log in w/ linkedin
2. get list of contacts
3. notice some contacts are returned as private/private for firstname/lastname

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Not sure why the LinkedIn API is returning these so it's probably a bug 
there...wouldn't hurt for plugin to scrub them so apps don't though.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest 4.2

Please provide any additional information below.

This may be a user-level privacy setting and they have explicitly set their 
information to private. That's why api is not able to access the information. A 
user can set their privacy settings here:
