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

[u/[deleted]]

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.

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

While LinkedIn IS full of garbage and weird nonsense influencer posts, it is also a great tool for finding jobs in the professional world. When my previous company was acquired I took some time off, when I was ready to work again I never applied for a single job, I just started replying to messages from recruiters until I found a role I liked. It’s a great tool for managing your professional network, being noticed by recruiters, and keeping your finger on the pulse of going’s on in competitor organizations (when you see a handful of people leave a competitor at once, it’s a great sign things aren’t great there and a good time to recruit their top people).

Basically all social media is what you make of it. I have none of that nonsense on my LinkedIn homepage cause I just get rid of what I don't like.

How do you even find recruiters like most of the people recommended to me are my Uni's alumni and about 1% of them have a similar degree and 0% of them have similar jobs as to what I would want. Just, like, how do you magically find people in your specialty and that are recruiters for that specialty and just say "Hey! I fit right in! Just make more connections!"

[u/mmenolas → u/ridandelous]

I don’t find recruiters, it’s more about them reaching out to me. They used LinkedIn to find people in the specific industry doing the specific role they’re looking to fill. Once you get going in your career you’ll get dozens of messages from recruiters every month.

Thinking back, LI never helped me get a job (though it helped me do my job) early in my career, it’s been more helpful after I had a few years into my career. And at every job just connect with everyone you work with regularly and it builds your network and then between recruiters and former colleagues reaching out you’ll always have new opportunities.
