LinkedIn wants prostitutes to stop using its site

LinkedIn just rolled out a number of changes to its privacy policy and user agreement, informing its more than 200 million members through a notice on the professional network's website.

Most of it is simplification (nice to see) but there are plenty of changes. BusinessInsider picked through the changes and found an interesting one; Even if it is legal where you are located, create profiles or provide content that promotes escort services or prostitution as seen below.



LinkedIn forbade advertising unlawful services way back when but the problem is that prostitution is legal in some countries while escort services seem to be a gray area.

They found profiles where a person would list themselves as a “Personal Trainer/Masseur/Escort at Urban Fitness & Massage Services” for example so you can see how people can slip by the system.

A little digging does indeed turn up some questionable escorts but the majority seem to be legit or in legal countries.

So, I can’t believe I have to say this – you hookers stay off my LinkedIn.
