LinkedIn has quietly updated its hate speech policy, removing explicit protections against deadnaming and misgendering of transgender individuals. According to the group, LinkedIn removed deadnaming and misgendering individuals from its examples of prohibited conduct. In addition, the update was not communicated publicly through LinkedIn’s Trust & Safety blog. However, LinkedIn did not offer explanations for the sudden, quiet change. LinkedIn is en route to adding games to its platform in efforts to improve user engagement. App researcher Nima Owji posted a series of screenshots via an X post showing the games LinkedIn has been developing. As per TechCrunch, the titles LinkedIn has been working on include ‘Queens’, ‘Inference’, and ‘Crossclimb’. It’s also still unclear if this will be exclusive to LinkedIn’s paid subscribers, or if it's inclusive of even free users.
