I just wanted to say that I share many of the concerns that were raised in this thread, in Twitter, and in some media articles. For this reason, I decided to shut down "Age-Insight" and stop all the distribution and support for the extension.

Very clever, @whoisjuan, but the obvious and most common use case might be discriminatory. Linkedin is often used for recruiting. Should we encourage employers to use someone's age (intentionally or not) when making hiring decisions?

Neat! Seems to be fairly accurate.

Very clever and well-executed extension, but I can't think of any purpose other than the enablement of age discrimination.
I made sure to remove my graduation year from LinkedIn early on after college to prevent this. It fooled Age-Insight too... my age is now listed as "N.A"

People are already ageist as it is. This will be used for negative use cases, imho.
