A violation of "Professional Community Policies."

A Professor of Surgery at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Marty Makary, said that a research letter he helped author was censored by LinkedIn for violating the platformโ€™s โ€œProfessional Community Policies.โ€ The post was reinstated later โ€œafter a friend complained to the CEO.โ€

The censored post contained a link to a research letter published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The letter is a study Makary conducted about the โ€œprevalence and Durability of SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies Among Unvaccinated US Adults.โ€

According to the screenshots Makary shared on Twitter, LinkedIn removed the letter โ€œbecause it goes against Professional Community Policies.โ€

The policies prohibit users from sharing โ€œfalse or misleading content.โ€

They also forbid users, including researchers and scientists, from posting โ€œcontent that directly contradicts guidance from leading global health organizations and public health authorities.โ€

It is not clear how the study Makary posted violated any of LinkedIn policies.
