    UPDATE: After I posted here, within a couple of hours they sent me an email that "we have verified your information and removed the restriction from your account".

    Coincidence? A very weird one!

    > I went through the stupid process of providing my government ID

    I did this once in my life for my first ever Facebook account. I still could not proceed either, which made me even more annoyed. Now they have my ID stored somewhere. Will never, ever do that again.

      My Facebook account got suspended and they asked for ID, I provided one and still didn't get my account back.

        The whole situation is getting out of control; they have become completely useless using them nowadays. What's the point, really?

      That's exactly what frustrated me the most!

    That government id thing is a joke. I get endlessly harassed to identify my identity with CLEAR, which I have no problem with in principle, but I have the practical problem that "it just doesn't work" and of course there is no helpdesk.

    I can't believe at all that a verified badge would make any difference in whether or not LinkedIn users would trust this person:
