I've been using LinkedIN for a very long time, pretty sure it's my oldest active social media account. In recent months however, my posts have been getting removed. There's nothing in my content that I can see, which violates TOS.

As of this morning, my account has been completely restricted so I can't even log in.

When Reaching to them on Twitter, their support team was fast to respond, but maybe as a security protocol- acted like they didn't know what was going on.

I think they're setting a very bad example as a professional networking site to feed into political biasness.

I'm writing this review incase my site is shutdown and they close it out before I have a chance to make a copy of my most recent data with them.

Below is a transcript of the conversation I had with LinkedIN via Twitter chat; and my tweets to them, which can be used for LinkedIN support in the future, so they can know how to better deal with false reporting, thus creating a healthier diverse networking environment overall.

My Tweets regarding the issue:

@LinkedIN Can I request info on how my account was restricted?
I'm confident its not an issue with #LinkedIN itself, I just would like to know who reported my account so I can remove them from my #ProfessionalNetwork, then I'll set it to private so it doesn't keep happening.

It's one thing for a #Company to remove posts out of #Political bias or whatever, but to remove the account completely is a whole different story.
@LinkedInMktg @LinkedInNews #SocialMediaNews #LinkedIN

Nothing I post about is violent, or would violate #LinkedIN TOS in anyway I can think of, my
@LinkediN is mainly posts of my #Artworks.

I'm a very level headed person, I think #SocialMedia companies, especially ones who cater to a #Professional crowd are stepping into dangerous territory playing #Politics in this way.

Is @LinkedIn down or did they cancel my account? @LinkedInHelp

I know I had a few posts flagged for having different #Political views.

I don't think it was #LinkedIN the company though, because that wouldn't make any sense, they'd have to cancel half their users then.
