I am a hobbyist security researcher, filterlist maintainer, and wannabe law nerd. I help maintain the Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool. I post about a variety of topics including cybersecurity, content filtering, law, tech, and trans rights. This is also the best place to find updates on my filterlists, as I often post about bugs and improvements to them. I am not an expert; do not take anything I toot as truth. Retoot/like != agreement. Not legal/medical advice. Profile picture: truncated screenshot of a WINE error message. The error message is titled "Download failed". The message reads "Download Failed: Success. Check your connection and click 'Retry' to try downloading the files again, or click 'Next' to continue installing anyway." There is only one button labeled "OK". Header image: A Windows error message against the default Windows wallpaper. The error message reads "Windows cannot find iam-py-test. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

@veit Worse, LinkedIn randomly locks out accounts and requires the owner to provide ID in order to unlock it (and "prove they are human").
Citation: It happened to my account.
Edit: here is LinkedIn's documentation
https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a1342692
It also uses Persona.
Other options to verify are filing an affidavit and using a work email address, so providing ID isn't the only option.
But not everyone has a work email setup. Moreover, I don't know how they handle the account name not being a person's legal name (e.g. trans people in states which don't let them change their name).
