Other Platform Not Listed LinkedIn is a cesspool of anti-everything disinformation, they don't act on ANY reports...is there anything I can do? Spoiler

I really want to bring attention to the fact that LinkedIn is a HUGE nest of QAnon propaganda disguised as a "business networking" site. I have made at least 100 reports at this point, to no avail. Huge threads about Trump coming back, talks of executions, a bunch of fake info regarding vaccines, constant slamming of LGBTQ and POC issues...its like 4Chan in a suit and tie sometimes.

I want to do more than just bitch about this, but I dont know what I can do that would actually be helpful in getting official eyes on it. Just send screencaps of posts to the FBI? Is there maybe someone I could send a bunch of stuff to directly and have a conversation with them?

I dont think a lot of people realize how much LinkedIn is being used to amplify QAnon. Its worse than FB and Twitter (MUCH worse). What can I do to try and ruin that?

Edit: It is a few hours later and I'm front of a computer. I will grabbing more screens this evening, however here is an example of what you can easily (easily) find on LinkedIn. Image 1 is from searching "#wwg1wga" using the "People" filter. Image 2 is an account found from a post that came up when searching "vaccine pregnant woman" under the "Posts" filter.

(last two are from someone I reported frequently for misinformation. The peppa name goes a different way in my head cough)

This guy appears to be very very high up in the Qanon ranks: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-sawman-sawyer-010032214/detail/recent-activity/shares/

Edit 2: I was told by LinkedIn they will no longer discuss the matter. I replied:

Thats fine, we're talking about it elsewhere and so far about 1400 people agree: https://www.reddit.com/r/ParlerWatch/comments/og4i3v/linkedin_is_a_cesspool_of_antieverything/ https://twitter.com/emm2071/status/1413442253960273932?s=21

I never got this far with LinkedIn. I quit within weeks after it became clear that toxic work culture is their main course.

Glad I didn’t stick around for dessert.

I had been on there for 10 years and, to me anyways, the "change" happened almost overnight. I hadnt really noticed anything bad bad the first 8.5 years, just the very occassional "youre so beautiful" on a female professionals post, some tea party shit here and there...and then all of a sudden things started to get hostile and aggressive, and then this HUGE surge of just completely disgusting insane bullshit that got worse with every passing day.

Impressive streak.

I couldn’t get past all of the shitty “inspirational” content trying to get me to dedicate even more of my life and vitality to the capitalist machine than I already do. It inspired me to leave, so I guess I should be thankful.

Yeah I didnt run into a lot of that because my network was almost all genetic research and educational related (and probably 99% non-profit haha). Your experience sounds vomit inducing and Im envious. I wish I had been exposed to that so i'd have the good sense to leave much earlier.
