Question:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I am a law abiding person, and prefer it that way, since as you must have heard, “Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time”. That’s me, all my life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days I feel I am being bullied by everyone who has no right to bully me, I am referring to online companies, like LinkedIn. They are an online social network, not GOD and not the GOVERNMENT OF UNITED STATES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WTF right do they have to DEMAND to have my ID – and my photo through my cell phone, and my cell phone number, and my date of birth, and every other f**ing thing they want? Just because they are LinkedIn?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About a month ago I logged into my LinkedIn account that I’ve had for 11 years, and I got logged out. After spending about 10 minutes trying to get past various stupid nonsense CAPTCHAs which I could barely see (pick the boxes with a car in it – are you kidding me!), I was greeted with the message: \u201cAccess to your account has been temporarily restricted.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went through all the hell they put me through, first QR Code could not read it, after 2 hours fiddling with it, finally it read it. Then it put me through PERSONA security company, and they installed an APP on my cell phone, then they had me click on the APP go through one thing after another to take a picture of my face, then my driver’s license, and at the end – what did I get?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our system cannot verify you face with the image of the picture in your provide government driver’s license.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I decided to write to them and let them know that for whatever the reason, they don’t like my cell phone. I live right here in California, in Irvine, and they can contact me, email me, mail to my address, call me, or get their system fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The never contacted me. EVER.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nightmares you will encounter with the LinkedIn Support team – which they don’t exist – they are ghosts and completely non-responsive. I filled out all the information on these forms, number of times, each one a nightmare loop to go around the next:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Email \u2014 you must use a different address; if you use the email from a frozen LinkedIn account, you\u2019ll get an error and the request won\u2019t be created. Very strange logic<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. What can we help you with today? \u2014 Regain Access to My Account<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Issue Type \u2014 Account Restricted<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    An individual is facing the nightmare loops of LinkedIn because of failed LinkedIn Persona verification process is not designed to avoid situations that is beyond one’s control such as a model of cell phone that is not integrating or connection or has may be even software APP problems, hence being locked out of LinkedIn, despite providing California Drivers License and contacting support through multiple channels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The user\u2019s account remains restricted following automated rejections, which I cannot understand and LinkedIn feels that it is god and does not need to answer to anyone. Thankfully we have NO GOVERNMENT agency that can kick the ass and tell them not to be so abussive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since you have been great with all your support at Neosymmetry, I appreciate if there is anything you can do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    First of all, we are very sorry for your trouble. You are not alone, and many people are going through this. LinkedIn has become a nightmare company, as many others, who gain a strong position in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We’ve seen others behave the same in our time, from AT&T in 1990s, then Microsoft in early 2000s, then Google in 2010s, and now LinkedIn in 2020s. There has been others too, just to be fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These companies are bullying the American people and can care less if they upset users or subscribers as long as they are makign money and customer support means nothing to them until they fall from top standing, then suddently the become more “supporting” to their users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    LinkedIn and their verification is particularly intrusive and they refuse to just accept a photocopy of a drivers license, rather than use this PERSONA company which of course they are all in on the whole process of inconvenience for users while they become popular, and larger and go public with their offering and all share a piece of the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Consumers and users are the ones who are always suffering. This is the price of bullying corporations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, I think it is at the very least socially responsible act for me to describe all the things that we know for you to try to get yoru account opened again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    LinkedIn and PERSONA Verification problems and technical issues causing nightmare for users<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    When LinkedIn<\/strong> and Persona<\/strong>\u2019s automated verification systems fail due to technical limitations (such as outdated operating systems, unsupported smartphone cameras, NFC scanning failures, or regional document restrictions), the automated portal will continuously reject photocopies and lock you into automated loop responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The solution is to bypass automated AI verification entirely and force a manual human review<\/strong> through alternative official pathways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1: Request a Notarized “Affidavit of Identity”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    LinkedIn provides an alternative offline verification process when users cannot or will not complete automated third-party verification (Persona\/CLEAR): <\/p>\n\n\n\n
