You won’t see us here on LinkedIn today, on Tuesday 2nd of July – or any other Tuesday in the near future. We, and many other users, are protesting against this platform’s #censorship and constraints to #freedomofexpression, around the violent occupation in Palestine and connected issues. 🆓🇵🇸🍉 Countless advocates for ending this genocide have been ousted, restricted and #shadowbanned, including our corporate account, for nothing more than telling the #truth. LinkedIn is targeting anyone who reports truthful facts about this inhumanity and asks for institutional accountability. The negative publicity LinkedIn attracts with this controversial policy largely outweighs benefits generated by leaving open space on its platform to Zionist propaganda. This stance does not make even business sense, as it tarnishes their corporate reputation as a ‘professional’ social platform. Perhaps if we all refused to pay for premium services on this platform they would start listening, A professional social media platform should not filter and select content based on political bias. Individual followers can decide with their own minds which content they want to see, based on their choice to follow certain accounts and reacting to content they wish to see more of. Who would store personal and sensitive data on a platform that actively promotes arbitrary #politicalcensorship and is politically aligned? This has to stop. Immediately. For the sake of the business future of this platform and the freedom of expression of its users. We request that these arbitrarily restrictive policies are abolished. We users have experienced the impact on our posting of such policies all from personal experience, for which we now have irrefutable #factualevidence. We are collectively willing to share such evidence with interested parties and the press. Every week tens of thousands of people around the world see these protest messages, react and comment, as proof this is a real issue for many LinkedIn users, even if this a challenging topic to talk about. A professional social media platform cannot promote censorship and forced political alignment, it goes against their professional ethos and reputation.
