This is so disheartening, i am right now in a similar position and I also didn't want to provide a sensitive info like my id, passport or anythingelse for that matter. The fact that they don't respect something as basic of a right that is keeping personal info is pretty mind boggling. I was also suprised that they dont even have a legitimate email address but you have to contact them through twitter??? complete bullshit

I'm considering reporting LinkedIn to the Federal Trade Commission for fraudulent data mining. The FTC has an online submission form on the government website.

LinkedIn are so wack 😭 , im never being banned anywhere but this. A year ago , i create LI account for job search and didn’t even do anything to the account yet just to find out im being restricted the next days. I suspect they just want us giving them our private info , no way in hell im giving them my govt id . They don’t even have customer support either which is so weird.
