We absolutely need a better platform for professional networking. A platform that's not filled with people who dislocate their shoulders trying to pat themselves on the back for some "inspirational" social media babble about the last time they managed to send an email.

This is precisely what would have happened if Apple had gotten away with their distributed image hashing scheme. Only in that case the falsely accused would be sent immediately through the justice system and forced to spend a fortune to defend themselves on the assumption that they were hiding the evidence.

I've always wondered about this. What happens if one of the big tech companies makes a mistake and closes your account? LinkedIn is pretty important nowadays when searching for work. Would you be able to make a new account? If not, that seems like a pretty big deal. Same concern with your email, or any of the other big services that we usually depend on. If I just suddenly lost my gmail, I would probably lose access to external accounts and other important data, which could be crippling.

5 AM. On my treadmill. Sipping on my favorite plant-based, gut-friendly health drink.

As I kickstart my day, I'm reminded how a healthy, thriving "ecosystem" is essential – both for me and the little people in my organization. Just like gut bacteria keep everything in balance, it's the insignificant little people and their micro-moments of trust, support, and empowerment that help our team thrive.

In People Operations, it's not just about strategy – it's about ensuring that every single person (yes, even the smallest gear in the machine!) feels valued, appreciated, and happy. When their needs are met, the whole system runs smoother.

Grateful for every, single, one of you who makes this place what it is. The work you do, no matter how big or small, keeps us all moving forward!!

Clearly the video was a false flagging.

> I have primary account (linked in my profile about) to my real name and thought it would be cool to have my open source project as account name on LinkedIn. And if I recall, I've seen similar approaches from others.

This is not how you're supposed to use LinkedIn. Your Open Source project is an organisation, not an account. I highly suspect the ToS says you can't have more than one account.

The alleged video in question.

Not sure I'm totally understanding here, but it sounds like LinkedIn turned on (probably AI-based) porn scanning on messages, there was a false positive, and the guy wasn't able to escalate to support. Is there an implication that it was blocked for political reasons?

> We detected that your message don't comply with our Professional Community Policies

Speaking of professional, haven't they got a grammar checker at LinkedIn?

So what's the implication here? Is Microsoft/LI unhappy about Ukraine content? Mesh content? Mesh in Ukraine? Or did the TOS bot have a false positive?

How is the Signal thing related? There seems to be an indication that getting banned on LinkedIn will prevent you from signing up to Signal. I don't think it was intended to be read as such but language is really weird:

> But tried to install Signal couple of days later from App store. And you guess the rest.

No, no I did not guess that getting banned on LinkedIn would prevent you from signing in to Signal.

I can see Microsoft using some system across their sites, which would affect your Github account, if you're blocked or banned on LinkedIn. It would be a pretty excessive, but I can imagine such a system. As to how Signal is involved I have no idea.

Since the LinkedIn flag was about a falsely flagged video as "adult content", I'm not sure if the GitHub thing is related.

Has anyone been banned from LinkedIn and from other microsoft-owned services at the same times ? It seems improbable.

I wonder what would happen if I sent a link to a video about the reticulum network stack on LinkedIn...

Linkedin is worst platform, no.1 OSINT tool for spearphishing.

LinkedIN is not the platform for DMs really. Thank god there are more suitable platforms.

Welcome to a brave new world of digital fascism and mass surveillance.

Why does every message have to be scanned with AI? Since when WeChat behaviour has become an example for the Western social media?

You don't scan all user private messages with AI, you give your users a report button which they can press if they don't like a message. Only then you can take any other measures. That's is.

lol, another good marketing campaign for Meshtastic and FOSS communications.

I had an error stopping me from commenting anything for months, decide to message support, they say "idk bro some more info?" and the error went away. I kinda suspect they knew the info already
