LinkedIn locked me out of my own account. The only way back is through Persona — a third-party service that wants a photo of my passport, a scan of my face, and a recording of my movements (liveness detection: turn your head, follow the dot, so a still photo can't stand in for me). The stated reason: "unusual activity." The real reason, of course, is big tech spearheading a movement toward absolute control over people.

I got my current job through Linkedin, pretty nice one even

Edit: just saying it can work. I hate the garbage on that site otherwise and never logged in anymore until i need to search for a job again
