People send each other porn on LinkedIn?
Actually, why wouldn't people working in porn and porn adjacent industries send porn related content to each other in DMs, totally in a professional context ?
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…
My linkedin account got taken over a couple months ago. The attacker changed the phone number and immediately added 2FA, but they didn’t control my email. During account recovery LinkedIn suspended the account and asks for ID verification, through a 3p vendor who do government id verification. That passed and LinkedIn said I could login and reset, but it still stayed suspended and asked for id again. My guess is they…

I agree with your larger point esp. Gmail - would be quite crippling - but I haven't had LinkedIn for years now, and it hasn't negatively impacted my job or searches. If anything, it helped me be more proactive when I was looking instead of feeling like I was praying to the abyss.
There was a second in ~2020 where LinkedIn was starting to feel like finding work in the Myspace days - people were expressing themselves in more personal ways on their profiles (I guess because of the lockdown) and remote work was just kicking off. It had this glow that reminded me a lot of the early 2000s work scene online.
Soon enough, as LI caught onto the trend those quirky profiles and posts were replaced with branded influencers and "viral posts". The platform quickly became as influencer-focused as Instagram or Twitter, which feels inappropriate for a job site. But it's not a job site they say, it's a career platform... or professional network... or something (of which a huge aspect is uploading your resume and applying to jobs). Anyway, the way the LinkedIn influencer sphere covered layoffs was like an E! television show - they loved it.
Turns out LinkedIn is not an "essential social media" shall we say. It's not the career accessory that my GitHub and a Macbook are, it could have been, but they chose their path.

I had no problem creating a new account. All of the accounts are linked together with my Facebook account, so it's not like they weren't aware. I didn't care until Threads came along, and now my preferred handle is unavailable.

My Instagram account was banned. I was never an active user, and I'm not sure I actually had a single post, so I have no idea why they found it necessary to disable my account. I tried the ID verification process but got nowhere. I had no problem creating a new account. All of the accounts are linked together with my Facebook account, so it's not like they weren't aware.

It just so happens that Fastmail is also puts out an excellent product.
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.

What on earth makes you think people working in porn and porn adjacent industries behave "in a professional context" on LinkedIn, when nobody else seems to?
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?
It’s not porn, it’s mixed use technology. The persons decentralized LORA radio messaging platform, is another persons disaster resilience platform, is another persons hobby project, is another persons anti censorship tool, is another persons improvised frontline communications tool, is another persons counter-terrorism ai ban hammer trigger.
Edge/edging ... of course it's a porn flag.
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?
