Unless LI applies its policies uniformly to all members it is discriminating for political reasons and there may be legal recourse. I would like to see documentation that LI vets all business claims for truthful content. Any business post or account that contains misleading or inaccurate information about that business’ practices, capabilities, history, policies, employment practices, accomplishments, and financial soundness must also be as scrutinized as my posts were in order to demonstrate uniform application of their policy.

Second, if the policy has no standard for what constitutes "misleading or inaccurate information" LI cannot justify its arbitrary exercise of the policy without it being plainly discriminatory. I have seen posts where people have claimed all conservatives are white supremacist, misogynistic, xenophobic, mentally defective murderers, yet it did not occur to LI that this was "misleading or inaccurate information". I have seen posts that claimed the Biden economy is the best the country has ever had, yet that did not make the cut for "misleading or inaccurate information". My post citing the U.S. government statistics on GDI and unemployment under Trump was removed as "misleading or inaccurate information". Two of my posts of CDC scientific articles that presented negative data regarding the vaccines were taken down. Apparently that means the U.S. government statistics and the CDC are presenting "misleading or inaccurate information" (what a shocker).

My account was temporarily suspended in late May 2022, then after a week LI told me I would be allowed to come back if I promised to be a good girl. I told them - very politely - to perform a physically impossible sexual act and they could keep their membership. No regrets, either.

Maybe stop spreading lies and act like an adult. Then you’ll be allowed on the big boy social network

LinkedIn took down my account a couple of years ago for posting the truth about BLM and Antifa. To restore it, they wanted all sorts of personal info including my drivers license. I'm sure that once they got that, they still would keep the ban in effect and use the info to make sure I'd never be able to post again. Instead I created a new account.

Here's my LinkedIn bitch session:

My small business, a naturopathic medical clinic, was fraudulently charged $999 by LinkedIn for 6 months. Upon discovering this charge I immediately canceled the card it was charging. I wrote them telling them it was fraud and I wanted to be reimbursed. They investigated and admitted, yes, it was fraud (I have that in writing). But, well, they can't pay me back because I canceled the card that was being charged. Long story, but I ultimately filed a claim with the Better Business Bureau. LinkedIn admitted responsibility again and said they would take care of it, but they can't do it through the BBB, I have to take it back to them directly. I did, and they refused to pay yet again. I have filed a small claims case. For over a year now, waiting for them to pay... Bastards.

On another note, I wanted to make you aware of an article I co-authored some months ago. Another, a follow up of sorts, has been submitted and will hopefully be published soon. It is more technical, and also more ominous.

Keep up the great content.

Fluvoxamine just reversed major depression with psychosis in a man who developed it 4 days post Sinovac.

He was previously put on citalopram but it didn’t touch sides.

Your work has literally saved his life. I wouldn’t have known about Fluvoxamine if it wasn’t for you.

I hear your outrage and you are right this is an unjust time.

But just thought to tell you anyway.

LinkedIn is for:

Posting your job history and resume

Posting your professional and personal accomplishments

Keeping in touch with former coworkers and professional contacts

Finding work

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE STOP F*ING IT UP

Microsoft, being the woke turd they are, bought LinkedIn (IMHO) as a ready-made social network to push the narrative and collect information because they were unhappy Facebook was getting it all. Under their stewardship, the site has degraded into a twitter-esque bag of crap, barely holding on to it's usefulness as a professional contact medium - and that by a margin so slim that you can see through it.

While I understand the author's desire and need to impart information that shows the narrative is full of s**t, pushing it on LinkedIn has only contributed to the overall uselessness of the site. I don't have any sympathy because people like this (on both sides of the argument) have ruined the place for the rest of us that found what LinkedIn used to be a useful thing.

LinkedIn isn't about free speech. It's about what Microsoft wants you to know.

I'll debate you. Live. I'm not pro-vaccine but I am not anti-vaccine, either. I could thoroughly destroy multiple talking points of yours if you agree to use only real, peer reviewed, published science and not Joe-Bob's antivax blog which is where most of the antivax disinformation comes from.

It would be easier to debate someone like me because I'd concede some of the points which may help you make whatever points you are trying to make. At the same time, I could show where people like you are going horribly wrong and falling for absolutely stupid anti-science disinformation.

Steve, you are on your knees licking the boots of the fascist nazi corporate scumbags who are destroying the planet and you are crying that they deleted your posts! Are you SERIOUS? This is probably the most important life lesson you will ever learn. These people are YOUR ENEMY. Why are you working with them? Why are you giving them your private information!? YOU should be the one deleting your account on LinkedIn, not LinkedIn deleting YOUR account. Dude!!! Have you been in a coma the last 5 years? Get OFF LinkedIn, get OFF Google, get OFF FaceBook. NOW!

I have a good friend that's d'bl vaxed , and boosted who travels to the States weekly from B.C. . He recently paid $1100.00 for PCR tests for him & family both to go down there, & $1100 again to come home to B.C.. What's amazing to me is--he thinks he's free , and quite happy to have been jabbed. If that's what you call freedom, you can keep it !

We lived without any of these scumbag companies...and we will do it again. This has been the 20 year plan to get everyone hooked to their phones and then social media and then they own you and your pitiful life. They will market you to death, threaten you because you are now dependent upon them, and thus control all aspects of your life using the mountains of data they have collected on you. You have surrendered your freedom by becoming dependent on technology which is now used to blackmail and control you.

Steve, You said, "It is stunning to me that the leader of the free world is advocating for censorship of free speech." This should not be "stunning" to anyone. This is the M.O. of the left. This is par for the course. This IS their approach. It's Orwellian double-speak: war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is peace" and so forth. Expect nothing less from them, they can't help themselves, they have no legitimate means to win based on ideas, facts, reality or policy.

Welcome to the club. If you want a better outcome based on your definition of fair, you are going to have to build your own platform. Remember: Their house, their rules.

RIP NPR a while ago too: Just noting how the P in NPR *definitely* stands for Pravda, not sure what the rest of it stands for. Decades ago it was good listening. Today, having encountered no good radio choices in the car, tried NPR. It had an "expert" talking about 2021, how it could have been done better, in hindsight. A sociologist who also "writes a column for the New York Times". Woman with a first name like Zened or something, maybe Israeli, I dunno.

Clearly air time is cheap on NPR, judging by how they let her talk for maybe 20 minutes. At a distance of about 20,000 feet she sounded sane; These people know how to sound like the most rational people in the room. The content was all about: We failed. Technology developed these wonderful vaccines but we could not produce them fast enough to vax the whole world, before more lives were lost due to unavailability of vax (she must mean in the Pfizer-rejected countries). She said it's a big problem that social media cast misinformed mistrust upon these wonders of medical know-how. She said in upcoming years these problems with society could be corrected; The lessons from the pandemic could be learned. I'm sure she'd be OK with shutting down substack for example, to try to improve vax willingness next time, or next variant.

There are people who actually listen to NPR as if it's "safe as milk".

They started this behavior back in 2016. Milo, for example.

Get on Gab. I use LinkedIn for business and nothing else. I use Facebook only to follow a couple of groups on bio-engineering life extension and nothing else. I've never been on Twitter.

What’s your deal?

Why are you so shocked? They banned President Trump, for crying out loud.

Have you not been paying attention?

The crackdown on free speech began five years ago.

Critical thinkers have experienced ban after ban, for years now.

More interesting, is how you avoided being banned all this time.
