I work as a Recruiter and I need LinkedIn to perform my job. Our company uses LinkedIn and we pay THOUSANDS EVERY YEAR for their Enterprise services to Recruiters to find talent/candidates. And part of our jobs is to contact people using their InMail service and post jobs.

In February 2021, my colleague and I got restricted from LinkedIn. He was unrestricted, freed to use his account again, whereas I am not. LinkedIn claimed that we were sending spamming messages, but lots of Recruiters use their InMail service to send messages to potential candidates, so I don't know if their algorithm knows how to detect real spam. We both did the same things but only my LinkedIn account is still restricted/banned? Is this enough evidence to be considered unfair treatment? The other two colleagues in the past had been restricted but then unrestricted too.

Restricting my account resulted in thousands of job postings being taken down as well, hindering a lot of hirings and project deliverables to our clients back in February 2021.

Since I could not have that first account back, I created a second account because I need LinkedIn to work, recently my second account has been restricted without being told the reason. I did not send any messages to people I didn't know, didn't add anyone I didn't know. Their responses are vague, automated, and, utterly rude.

I would NOT recommend LinkedIn for anyone and especially companies looking for talent, since their customer service is INEFFICIENT and you will spend THOUSANDS for nothing.

Suspending someone's account for merely responding to a political post on Linkedin is a rather aggressive action from Linkedin admin particularly during this covid19 situation when 40% people loose their jobs such action by linked to suspend users is criminal, rather cruel and should be liable to accountability by the Department of Justice.

Given that linkedin today has become a monopoly and the only source of job market profile carrier acceptable by all companies hence it is become equal to food and water. What you are doing by irresponsible suspension of user IDs denying the users food and water or capability to earn his daily income which is equivalent to food and water. So your suspension of user ID is like denying food and water not just to the individual but to his entire family who is dependent on this person. Linkedin has become a monopoly and by the power it has got due to the monopoly position it is in, it can allow voice only to those whose political ideology Linkedin concurs with. This is why instead of suspending the persons who start such political discussion which get mass reactions, it blocks only those who respond to such posts there by Linkedin makes its position clear that it will suspend only those whose ideology is not same as Linkedin, the user who originated the political post was democrat supporter hence not suspended. Who has authorized Linked to become judge or courtroom. Is linkedin qualified to take sides, hence what linkedin should immediately do ban political posts and at the same time unsuspend all blocked user IDs it has blocked. You are not certified courtroom or judges authorized to make decision whose ideology or political views are right or wrong. I believe like Google, Facebook, Twitter Quora: Linked also should face congress hearing and if found guilty it should be broken into several companies so that big tech does not drive the life of ordinary and normal human beings. It does not force its political ideology and views onto others. My ID was blocked, linkedin does not even provide an option for appeal this to me is a very harsh action by Linkedin. My message to Linkedin with great power comes great responsibility if you cannot handle this stop taking sides or blocking people based on views. Cc: Department of Justice USA,

Already Bigtech has started grouping userID so that those who they dont consider supporting Bigtech ideology should become less visible or insignificant even if they are users on the platform. The Big Techs want to control humanity in a way never seen before. Immediate intervention by governments, politicians and courts is becomes necessary. Social media regulatory act needs to be enforced on companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter Quora Linked Amazon and similar networking sites and also media like New york times, washington post, CNN, CBS, should be allowed to hijack the public view point.

Page Hijacked - Linkedin refuse to help

One of our competitors is using our URL on linked in and has established a business page for his business. All of the information on the page associated with our URL relates to the competing business and we are not able to establish a page ourselves because our URL is already being used.
Linked in do not consider this to be a copyright infringement and refuse to help resolve this issue.

Thanks so much for the non response "Fiona"

Stay away from these scammers

Stay away from these scammers. I had 285 connections that took me some years to build and they restricted my account, without any warning!!!!! In one moment they destroyed all my years of efforts.They are biased and they want people to handle them. Protect yourselves and stay away from these scammers.

WASTE of Money for Recruiters!

Racist and Discriminatory platform with…

Racist and Discriminatory platform with abominal customer support. I am being denied Linkedin Live feature for over six months now while other people get It in 2 days. Customer service threatened me to restrict my account which they often do under false pretext that i am using external apps which i am not at all. I have a huge following base that they are erroding and ignore all my complaints.

Nothing but positive memories on LinkedIn. It’s a great platform to really push your presence to a wider community.

Narcissist Central... such a toxic site!

Site is full of pretentious narcissists! IIt's literally Facebook for problematic corporate/career nutjobs! Mark Cogan has an interesting post on the topic ("LinkedIn Profile Rankings: Feeding Narcissism?"
"The network is home to entertaining posts that expose insecurities and tribalism"

They are Liberal controlled playing politics and Banning people without facts

Linkedin.com appears to be Liberal-controlled playing politics and Banning people without facts.
When facts are shared proving your case you may still be banned any belief to the contrary will have your account shut down. They have joined the Ranks of Fascistbook. I would not pay for their services and leave their platform. I was banned for posting a video of a vaccine-injured person trying to warn others of the dangers of the Covid 19 Vaccine. They tried to say the video is misleading. I posted VAERS reports back to them with backed up CDC data and they banned me.

No customer support and a UX designed to screw you over

There is no way to turn off automatic renewal of premium subscriptions. When you check your account it will tell you it expires on x date and not a word about renewals. I have had many other subscription services and they will always inform the renewal date, and show if it's automatic or not.
I feel like LinkedIn is intentionally vague about this and it feels designed to screw people over. I personally tried out the premium subscription and intended to cancel, but was misled by the horrible interface.
Why would they do this? Probably because the premium service is close to worthless while being quite pricey.
The customer support is non-existent as well.

Microsoft Azure Master Training

This training course offered by Intellipaat, is very comprehensive (Lots of content, practice exercises for the real word), not to mention the expert instructions and kind efficient support team. I definitely undeserving recommends all intellipaat training courses to all who wants to take their IT skills to a higher level.

Linkedin customer service is the worst

Linkedin customer service is the worst. The made a mistake and canceled my Sales Navigator account. Then told me to reinstate my account. Once I did, they said, they will reinstate my data. We emailed support back and they have told us that we are responding to the wrong email and we should respond to the correct email. We can not find the difference between emails. We respond to different emails. They continue to tell us the same thing with their automated message.
I understand the need to streamline communication when you are a platform that serves many people. However, when you make a mistake it is your job to fix it - not mine. You giving me the run around is not valuing my time. How hard would it be to make sure my email gets to the right place if I am consistently having that same problem? AND YOU MADE THE MISTAKE, not me!

It is a platform for professionals to connect with each other but it is failing miserably because it doesn't deliver. There is a great deal of dissatisfaction with the product.
