LinkedIn is the sole judge, jury, and executioner of what constitutes “misleading or inaccurate” information and whether you violate their user agreement. They can terminate you at any time, for any reason. You have no recourse.
Because I made 3 truthful, accurate statements that some people at LinkedIn considered to be misleading or inaccurate, my account (built up over nearly 20 years) is now permanently deleted.
Instead of simply restricting my ability to post, they basically wiped out my entire identity so nobody can even see who I am anymore or what I accomplished. My resume is gone. My awards are gone. Nobody can even find out I ever existed.
I didn’t even get a chance to copy my profile before they wiped me out. All my contacts are gone. The record of my 7 companies I started: gone.
No one will be able to lookup my history there anymore. It’s like burning books in the library.
Wikipedia did the same thing to me. They removed the mention that I received a National Caring Award as retribution for speaking out about vaccine safety.
This can happen to you if you too disagree with mainstream thought.
America today is about conformity with mainstream thought. If you disagree, you lose your job, lose your ability to communicate, and they remove any record of your existence.
I’m now lifetime banned on Medium, Twitter, LinkedIn, and sendgrid. The reason I am not yet banned on Facebook and YouTube is because I never post there anymore. That’s the trick. Just stop posting anything that goes against mainstream thinking and you won’t be banned.
Social networks are the new “town hall.” Being arbitrarily terminated from a large social network because they disagreed with my views, is simply stunning.
I can’t use email either because if an email provider decides they don’t like what you are saying in your private emails, they can ban you as well. I’m permanently banned from sendgrid, for example, because I sent one email to my personal contacts that fluvoxamine was effective against COVID. That’s all it took. They deleted my account and all my contacts without warning and without any ability to recover them.
What’s next?
Will my Internet provider be next to drop my internet service because they don’t like the emails I send? Today, they are under the jurisdiction of the FCC, but laws can be changed at any time so that the government can better silence critics like me.
Will every bank close my bank account?
Will PayPal terminate my PayPal account like they did for the National Vaccine Information Center?
Will grocery stores be required to check IDs on entry and not let you buy food if you are on a “critical thinkers” list?
An America where if you disagree with mainstream beliefs, your ability to communicate with others will be terminated and you will have no recourse even if everything you said is absolutely true.
Truthful speech is not protected in America.
Biden’s “Disinformation Dozen” list is wrong and sets a dangerous precedent.
It is stunning to me that the leader of the free world is advocating for censorship of free speech.
He’s supported in his call for censorship by every member of Congress (none of whom have spoken out against this) and by all the mainstream media (again, none speak out against this list and the dangerous precedent it sets).
We are truly living in a new America.
Here’s what they said were the three posts that justified a permanent removal of my account (without possibility of download):

Hi Steve,
Your account was restricted due to multiple violations of LinkedIn's User Agreement and Professional Community Policies against sharing content that contains misleading or inaccurate information:
Post on 9/26/2021: Inconvenient truth: >150,000 excess deaths in VAERS. Jeffrey Morris REFUSES to debate my team in a video RECORDED call. He writes papers but is AFRAID to have them publicly challenged.
Post on 9/22/2021: I just sent this to Eric Topol: Eric, I'm a big vaccine skeptic. I think the vaccines have killed over xxx people. Would you like to debate? You can do the world a HUGE service by showing people how ridiculous my assertions are. You can bring down all my 20 experts at the same time in a 1 hour debate. You'd end vaccine hesitancy. [had to xxx to escape censorship from LinkedIn ]
Post on 9/20/2021: Nicki Minaj was telling the truth. All the authorities were wrong. The facts are all with Nicki. The authorities cited no evidence to support their position. But they are the authorities so we should believe them NO MATTER WHAT the science actually says, right? The authorities NEVER make mistakes. https://lnkd.in/gqYieZyX

I’ve been trying to unsubscribe from those annoying LinkedIn notifications for years. I have been going about it wrong!
I was banned...for life...from youtube for stating that there are only two genders.
(life...from youtube for stating that there are only two genders.)
You can wear that badge with honor.
The reprobates really think they’re on to something.
Well, there are three, including the mental defectives.
“I’ve been trying to unsubscribe from those annoying LinkedIn notifications for years.”
Same here—but I don’t even belong to LinkenIn so I have no account to ban.
Maybe if I respond to the notification with “Vaccines are dangerous for children and other living things” that will get me off the mailing list!
I had a fake LinkedIn account that got emails from headhunters until I closed it.
You would think they’d realize somebody was messing with them with a name like Dr. Aesop Fable.
This article reminded me to close my LinkedIn account. It was a nice ride until Microsoft took it over.
Amazon removed all of my customer reviews. I still don’t know why.
Smh…
I am banned for life from Facebook. I don’t know why.
I only use LinkedIn to see if the person you just sent me an E-mail is a tool, an idiot or has some reasonable idea what he is doing.
Other than that LinkedIn is worthless to me.
I tried to cancel my account there several times after I retired on disability. They won’t kill it. Annoying.
What did he post?

I remember in the 80s and 90s seeing young skulls full of mush walking around with t-shirts that read “question authority”. Today, the skulls full of mush are the ones in authority and refuse to be questioned.
Yup
I got banned from Facebook and I do know why.
I said Mark Zuckerberg is the second worst Jew on this or any other planet, right behind Antony Weiner.
The whole point of that comment was to get myself banned. I could have resigned, but they won’t delete you. as you might come back. I don’t want to go back and wanted them to “un-person” me. They did...took about 15 minutes for their nasty-gram, and I immediately doubled down with something even more outrageous, and within seconds of that, I was gone forever. It’s been over 5 years since.
His entire professional career had been erased?
What did we ever do before LinkedIn?
The huge manatee!
As far as “... what’s next? My internet connection? “ if you fear what your internet provider is thinking, then it’s time to move.
Starlink works well.
I’m reminded of when I left my ex of 14 years for cheating on me. She didn’t. Bit that night she spent the night at his house.
It’s called “beating them to the punch”
Thank you.
I need to read better.
