When you’re back in set up 2FA it stops a lot of the blocking when you do high risk things like start new ad campaigns or new startup pages. The initial red flag is usually a security red flag.

That seems very strange that they would _ban the account_ rather than deleting the profile image and rendering a placeholder instead.

In fact there are probably places where that could get you in trouble for sharing personal information or something

#53Is your avatar Marten for QC? :D
Yes, good eye :) I used it for years, and eventually just asked the author to get his official permission. I treasure it.
Also I think this is the first time i've come across some fellow QC enjoyers in the wild lol.

I bet $10 that OP re-uploaded the avatar after having it removed the first time.
I didn't have it removed until after the account got restricted. I'll happily forward you the emails if you send the $10 to anything listed here: https://help.gov.ua/en/

#58I rarely use LinkedIn but I was also banned without warning/reason after attempting to post a new job. Any ideas on getting reactivated? Support emails are responded to with a generic denial template.

#60I don't know why people even use the cesspool that's LinkedIn. I deleted my account in 2012 because of their spam emails and haven't looked back since.
To your point though, I do pretty much forget that LinkedIn exists if I'm not actively in a job search.
