When you try to sign in with LinkedIn it asks permissions to:
> Create, modify, and delete posts, comments, and reactions on your behalf
Why?

The LinkedIn API, weirdly, requires that scope in order to retrieve the profile image. We won't, of course, post anything or act in any way on your behalf. I'm actively trying to find a way around requiring that scope

I would just not extract the profile picture in that case. It doesn't take any time to upload one, it's ok and better than asking so many permissions.

Is it that important to automatically retrieve the profile picture, can't you ask the user to upload one?

No, you're right. It's in the roadmap to add that image picker.
