A funny thing happened today: for the first time ever one of my posts was removed from LinkedIn. As far as my posts go it was relatively mild - a meme that's been fairly widely spread on social media, with some very brief commentary by me. Commentary btw that I've written on LinkedIn before and I stand by.

One noticeable difference however from previous posts of mine on the subject was a relatively high volume of pro-Russia trolls and Putin apologists in the comments section. They have become increasingly active on LinkedIn in recent months, and I've seen very informative posts on the war in Ukraine get inexplicably removed from LinkedIn. Shame on LinkedIn for that. This site isn't doing enough to counter Russian propagandists.

I don't want anyone thinking it was me that took the post down, so here it is again.

P.S. Sanction Schr?der. ??

Not having a go at you because I value your posts greatly, and your inflammatory trolling memes are infrequent, but you can say the same thing very firmly without making LinkedIn look and feel like the hellscape of the rest of the internet. It's that nasty meme mode or form I don't think people fleeing the ugly, puerile internet want to see here. Being right is beside the point; making LinkedIn seem like every other angry, inflammatory, bitter cesspit does nothing for both Linkedin and social media platform diversity, especially when business social media sites are so few and far between. I've been testing pushing back against bad argument and clichéd nonsense for two weeks just to try to understand what's in people's heads and why they feel comfortable pontificating about things they clearly haven't researched or experienced to any serious level, but I've never got into a schoolyard meme fight or mocked entire nations, despite exchanging firm words! I'm actually going to back off this week again, experiment over!

Great recap on the challenge of freedoms and ethics in ai that flagged your post - the time is definitely now for arbitrage https://www.dhirubhai.net/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7039942862972575744/

Actually the post has two communities Germans and Russians mentioned in it.. I feel its not on the extreme end.. still we people/intellectuals are offended by a simple 'yes' these days, so who is to blame.. it's easy to find faults even where they may not exist than merits.. that's the world we live in.. still lets find out how to create real value in all this.. hopefully..

If you think that censorship was bad - the level of censoring LinkedIn did on #covid was beyond sad. Zero discourse allowed on scientific topics that Noble Prize winning scientists were publishing on other platforms unless it matched the desired narrative. Facts, real world evidence, rigorous statistical analyses and proven science were all removed.
