linkedin.com – I was treated like a bot, no humanity, no fairness for Latin Americans

I’m extremely disappointed with how LinkedIn treated my case.

My account (associated with [protected]@gmail.com) was restricted, and I tried everything to prove my identity and resolve the issue:

I submitted my real government ID

I attempted verification through Persona multiple times

I offered to join a live webcam call to prove I’m real

I contacted LinkedIn via X (Twitter)

I filled out the official support forms on their website

I even created a GitHub issue explaining my situation

Despite all that, I received nothing but copy-paste responses and a final rejection without explanation. I was never told what rule I allegedly broke, and I never got the chance to be heard or seen as a human being.

As a Brazilian developer, I can’t help but feel that LinkedIn doesn’t treat Latin American users with the same level of attention or care. If I were in the U.S. or Europe, would this have happened the same way?

LinkedIn promotes itself as a platform for professionals — but when someone vulnerable, unemployed, and seeking opportunity asks for help, they are silenced.

I trusted LinkedIn. Now I feel erased.
