LinkedIn Professional Community Policies
Thank you for using LinkedIn, where the world’s professionals come together to find jobs, stay informed, learn new skills, and build productive relationships. The content that you contribute should add to the LinkedIn community in a constructive manner. Additional information on what that means, is laid out below. You should also review our Publishing Platform Guidelines. Together we can make our community a place where everyone is able to learn, grow, and communicate, which, in turn, helps create economic opportunity for everyone.
Tell us if you see abusive content
If you see something you believe may violate our policies, whether in profiles, posts, messages, comments, or anywhere else, please report it to us. Combined with our automated defenses, these reports help us identify and prevent abuse. Users can report content by clicking on the three dots icon in the upper right-hand corner of the content itself on LinkedIn. Please use the reporting tools responsibly and only for their intended purposes. To learn more about how to report inappropriate content, behavior, or members, visit our Transparency Center.
In addition to LinkedIn's trained content reviewers, we use automated systems to identify potentially violative content. Violating content can be removed from LinkedIn. Learn more about our approach to content moderation, including our automated systems, here.
Violating our community policies can result in action against your account or content
These policies apply to all members. Depending on the severity of violation, we may limit the visibility of certain content, label it, or remove it entirely. Repeated or egregious offenses can result in account restriction. If you believe action taken on your content or your account was in error, you can submit an appeal.
We may allow certain content that would otherwise violate these Professional Community Policies to remain on the platform if it is educational or newsworthy. Examples may include graphic depictions of an occupation, such as video of a surgeon operating, content shared about a newsworthy event like war or armed conflict, or inherently newsworthy content like statements or actions by certain public officials. When making a determination of newsworthiness, we balance the potential harm from the content staying on the platform against the value to our members and the public of it staying accessible. Graphic or disturbing newsworthy or educational content will include a warning screen.
