    I mean, get mad over your feelings towards either Israel or Hamas, but let’s be brutally honest - there’s nothing wrong with this. You’re going on an entirely public website specifically made to network with professionals or advertise your workplace - and you post anti or pro ‘hot button topic’ statements…I mean reap what you sow?

      That would track if it was anti or pro but it seems to be specifically aimed to censor one side

        Is anyone scraping LinkedIn’s data to compile and shame pro-Israeli / anti-Palestinian sentiments and thereby creating a need to censor “both sides”?

        It’s an honest question because I don’t know. But being pro-Israel is certainly the default majority/establishment stance right now, with pro-Palestine a vocal minority (at least in the West), so directly comparing them ignores the relevant nuances.

        A commercial website taking a stance on my politics is unwarranted. You make money off of my being there. Stfu unless I break the law.
