I am currently very disappointed with LinkedIn. I had my account suspended by them in 2020, then when I appealed they would not accept my identity, I use a family name for business as it is part of my company brand and more recognizable. Not only this the person that made the complaint against me was someone who had been involved in a breach of my privacy, through a dispute. He approached me on LinkedIn before optaining and abusing personal information. LinkedIn took his opinion at face value, that i had been understandably negative about him, but did not investigate my side of things, meaning they helped facilitate a breach of privacy, which in unlawful as a data provider. It meant my business network was lost, which included some of the most powerful people in marketing around the world and very valuable. Since this my business has folded and I am struggling to regain my reputation. I had high hopes for LinkedIn and found it brilliant to start with but now I can't develop the contacts I need of engage in creative development as I keep falling foul or their rules or because they fail to apply rules properly or evenly. Law is written for purpose, it doesn't mean it is applied how they do now and against innocent parties. They really need to review their policies as it makes the site unusable. Plus they never got back to me about the investigations, very bad, but uphold other decisions against me. They unlawfully facilitated a breach of privacy and then unlawfully destroyed my business but do not seem bothered. Now they constantly infringe and interfere. It is unwelcome and unprofessional.
