SINGAPORE—Eyck Freymann, an Oxford University doctoral student, was surprised to get a notice from LinkedIn this month telling him his account had been blocked in China. The “Experience” section of his profile, which detailed his career history, contained “prohibited” content, he was informed.
The academic is one of a spate of LinkedIn users whose profiles have been blocked in recent weeks. The Wall Street Journal identified at least 10 other individuals who had their profiles blocked or posts removed from the China version of LinkedIn since May, including researchers in Jerusalem and Tokyo, journalists, a U.S.
Shortly after, LinkedIn said in a statement on its website that it would be pausing new member sign-ups as the platform worked “to ensure we remain in compliance with local law.” “It’s astonishing to see that LinkedIn complies with the Chinese authorities’ censorship policy without being able to justify their acts to its users,” said Tony C. Lee, a professor at Freie Universität Berlin, who was blocked on June 17.
Microsoft’s Bing search engine, which is also available in China, drew controversy this month after itlinked to the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre not just in China, but also for its U.S. users. The company blamed “accidental human error” and restored the image.
Look around at your environment...you are in China where your leader is lifetime premiere. N. Korea, Russia, S. Arabia, Egypt, and others are also successful with this type of dictatorship. Trump, the GOP and QAnon want to try it out....forever.
LinkedIn should leave the market instead of supporting communism with a custom platform.
Some Twitter profiles were also blocked and tweets removed earlier this year in the US if I remember it correctly?

Aussie-China spat spotlights WTO limitsThe Australian government is finally taking China to the World Trade Organization over Beijing’s triple-digit duties on wine exports. At issue are politics: the Chinese embassy Down Under recently leaked a list of 14 grievances, none of which had anything to do with trade, much less trade in wine. Moreover, Canberra’s call for an international inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus and other actions have resulted in trade barriers against a wide swathe of Aussie products. petesweeneypro Beijing has little respect for the WTO. Pays lip service to the organization until it threatens their own interests.
