Who is claiming that imagery of drugs is illegal?
Literally the first sentence of the post >It made the news recently that Wickr (Amazon owned E2EE chat app) is full of illegal imagery.

I want to know what they're looking for that could get them to reject the ESTA...? If writing "illegal drug salesman" as your profession gets your ESTA application blocked, then there is nothing to stop some stranger setting up a fake linkedin profile with the same.
It may be simpler than that, one cause of rejection is you working in the US while not allowed. I keep hearing about people that get busted (most by the time they are reaching customs) by pictures or messages on their social media accounts showing that they worked (even just helping family) while in US on tourist visas.
And they'll be arrested?

Forums and chat rooms related to technologies you have experience with, want to learn. Slack and Discord have quite a few. Some like to complain about projects using Slack or Discord because they’re not open and can’t be archived publicly but really who is pulling value from old IRC logs today? Nostalgic lizard brain is all that is.
> Some like to complain about projects using Slack or Discord because they’re not open and can’t be archived publicly but really who is pulling value from old IRC logs today? When projects use Slack or Discord (or, for that matter, IRC) as their primary support channel it becomes a lot more painful to search online for solutions to problems.

Are ESTAs the one where applicants have to list their own social media accounts, or am I thinking of something else? Last time I went to the US was 2018, so even if I remember right, things may have changed.
I went in 2021, and I had to fill in social media accounts, they didn't say to which sites so I listed a whole bunch of them.

Imagine if your job was moderating content and some rando spammed your mod queue with “illegal imagery!!!” (which is not, in fact, factually true) and then you banned them to get rid of the noise, then somehow their story made it to the front of HN.
Sorry can't, not everyone lives in fantasy land like you do.

I recommend we let LinkedIn implode under the weight of useless spam and indifferent ownership. Network directly with engineers where they spend time online. Not recruiters in purpose built HR portals.
This is probably a good case to remind people: You ("engineers who want to network") are a small fraction of the LinkedIn userbase. You cannot begin to accurately grok how the vast majority of users use and feel about LinkedIn. Your opinions are valid (and I share them fully). But be careful not to assume that the way _you_ interact with LinkedIn is universally shared.
One CEO I know mentioned they only hire recruiters for engineers. Other slots are filled in other ways. Some are with job posts, others might be with referrals.
Another mentioned that engineers are like gold. A valuable commodity that's mineable via a process, enough of a commodity that everyone agrees on value.

I could be wrong, but I think the story was contained here [0], where a chilean programmer was targeted through a LinkedIn face account set by north korean hackers. [0] https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/04/26/the-incredible...
There was also "Operation Socialist" [1] where the UK's GCHQ with the aid of the NSA hacked Belgacom, via phishing linkedin emails. Darknet Diaries also had an episode on it. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Socialist

So yes Sorry that “trolling” means “disagreeing with me” that must suck. Thankfully that’s not an issue I have. Why is it so important that we elevate the experience of a person that objectively used linkedin wrong and was kicked out? What do you get out of maintaining your position and siding with the backseat modding? Are you looking for modding work?
You're clearly trolling. You so far called the OP of this thread (who is a member here), "rando spammer", "misguided", "naive" and "fucking idiot". Considering that that it seems even a Microsoft employee offered support to him, it seems that you're alone in your opinion. Also please take some time to self reflect that maybe those adjectives you used apply to you instead.
Edit: Also, food for thought: I genuinely did not know you could buy drugs through linkedin. In the OP’s complaint I’ve been informed of what website to go to, what app to install, and what search terms I should use to get into contact with drug dealers.
Should the OP be reported for illegal speech or is that just relegated to jpegs?
Probably because "view as" isn't anonymous, even if you adjust your privacy settings. (It'll say things like someone from X uni or with Y title viewed... easy to intuit who looked) On my end, I had issues after I "looked up" someone convicted of a serious crime[1] who lived in my area code. (I was looking into a different set of bad people. Apparently there's a lot of evil people on the internet. Not just the "dark w…
