Naturally, it is not in LinkedIn’s interest to change this; the corporation’s behavior is logical and understandable. But that’s not the real question. What about the community’s reaction? Has this simply been accepted as a given—normalized and justified? And what about the rank-and-file support staff who send you a template—telling you that you’re writing from the wrong email address and that you should use the one linked to your account—do they know they are peddling a blatant lie? Or do they not know? Or perhaps they simply choose not to know? "We were just following orders; we didn't know anything." I am narrowing the scope of the issue as much as possible: I am not discussing why accounts end up "restricted"—whether that’s fair or not—nor am I addressing other problems. I am focusing solely on this one specific aspect.

I don’t know. But how do you explain the fact that this remains almost unknown, even though this system behavior has existed for years? For instance, try asking ChatGPT or Gemini about this —the AI don’t know, which is quite telling.
