All companies worth above a trillion should be treated like public agencies. There’s no reason they should have this kind of unchecked power, especially with all the OTHER ways in which they’re anti competitive ALREADY. Including simply existing.

Aline describes her experience in 2023 of getting permabanned from LinkedIn for several days, until finding a human contract through one of the investors in her startup.

Possible reason for the ban is her content makes mention of LinkedIn in a way that wasn't expressly approved by LinkedIn, and it all happened only after she took their offer to pay $500 to promote the post.
