#2The alleged video in question.

#3Not 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?

#4So 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?

#5Welcome 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.

#6I'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.

People send each other porn on LinkedIn?

If a program has a messaging system, it will be used to send porn.

Based on the number of guys who think LinkedIn is a dating site I don't see why there wouldn't be people who think it's a porn sharing site.

You are screwed, and it is a big deal.
However, until some ambulance chaser manages to corral the affected people into a class action lawsuit and win, there will be no change.
