Summary
A conservative advocacy group, State Freedom Caucus Network, had a post supporting President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown temporarily removed from LinkedIn, sparking outrage among conservatives who claim censorship. The post was later reinstated, with LinkedIn attributing the removal to an error. Conservatives are now calling for a boycott of the platform, which they claim has a liberal bias.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
A conservative group posts on social media, LinkedIn flags it as “hateful speech” and removes it, then reinstates it after backlash. The group and other conservatives cry censorship and liberal bias. A LinkedIn spokesperson attributes the removal to an error. The incident sparks a familiar debate about Big Tech censorship and bias. The group vows to delete its LinkedIn account and encourages others to do the same.
Once again, the “error” excuse is used to explain away a controversial content moderation decision.
