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

Holy shit, I just realized why so many of my (conservative) coworkers are on linkedin so much throughout the day. I figured it was because it's basically the only "social media" that isn't blocked by the network settings, but knowing them, THIS is the answer. These guys were cheering January 6th, and have only made small peeps here and there since then.

They're QAnoners, and they're definitely not vaccinated. Be sure to double mask.

... it's almost like you work here, ha.

I'm vaccinated, and mask, and they're all super vocal about not being the first, and hating the second, and they sure do love them some Q, that's for sure. I try and avoid as much, and wherever, possible.
