If you use LinkedIn for meaningful content, and not just as a on demand network, you’re doing something terribly wrong.

remember that a lot of people left from gab too which might explain a spike.

But if this is true it means Linkedin does make an incredible effort in curating my feed. Actually I haven't seen any political content there and am usually feeling hesitant before posting political stuff - exactly beause I know the algorithm either demotes it or that even those that agree would never share or like these posts (it's Linkedin after all - your employer, prospective employer, client, or prospective client, has an eye on you - or so you think - hence self censorship - but that's a different topic).

The biggest trick of LinkedIn is getting you to think it's a social network, but look at where their revenues come from: it's a recruiting platform. The tooling is one of a kind for replacing bloated HR processes)

If there is a story it's about the non-transparent LinkedIn algorithms IMO

Facebook and Google have been in scrutiny for a long time over how their algorithms work. Oddly LinkedIn managed to stay out of most the discussions when it comes to ethics. Why?

> ...and a graphic instructing liberals how to kill themselves. “Rock on insignificant Liberals … you will not be missed,” wrote the person who shared it, whose profile says she is a registered nurse.

It boggles my mind that someone would post this on LinkedIn. Why would you share this on a site where the target audience is potential employers and professional connections? I get that people have strong political opinions, but this just shows terrible judgement.

Almost like it’s a publicly accessible website or something..

... and spam generator. Sadly from recruiters, too.

I wonder how effective it would be for a person that wants to infiltrate a far-right media organization or political lobbying group, gain their trust, and generate a snowden sized data dump.
