Following these guidelines helps you maintain credibility, build trust, and thrive as a creator on LinkedIn

16 behaviors every LinkedIn creator must strictly avoid:

‍

1) Harassment or Personal Attacks:

Never shame, troll, or target someone. Revealing private information (doxing) is also unacceptable

‍

2) Threats or Promotion of Violence:

Do not share content that promotes violence, destruction, or criminal activity in any form

‍

3) Child Exploitation:

Any content involving the sexual exploitation or endangerment of minors is strictly prohibited and will be reported

‍

4) Illegal Services or Unsafe Products:

Do not promote or sell fake documents, certifications, escort services, or instructions for illegal activities

‍

5) Extremist Content:

Avoid content that glorifies or recruits for terrorist or extremist ideologies

‍

6) False or Misleading Information:

Never post content that spreads misinformation about elections, health, or any topic meant to deceive the public

‍

7) Fake Identities:

Your profile must reflect your real identity. Do not use false photos, job titles, or affiliations

‍

8) Scams and Malware

Avoid posting anything linked to phishing, pyramid schemes, romance scams, or malicious software

‍

9. Hate Speech:

Do not create or endorse content that attacks people based on race, religion, gender, or other protected traits. Denying historical atrocities is also unacceptable

‍

10) Unwanted Sexual Content:

LinkedIn is a professional space. Romantic advances, explicit photos, or flirtatious messages are not appropriate

‍

11) Graphic Violence or Shock Content:

Avoid posting disturbing visuals, weapon-making instructions, or content promoting self-harm or drug use

‍

12) Nudity and Adult Material:

Sexual content is not allowed, even if shared for educational or journalistic reasons

‍

13) Spam and Engagement Manipulation:

Do not send mass DMs, participate in engagement pods, or ask people to like, comment, or follow without offering value

‍

14) Pure Promotions:

Posting only to sell products or services, without offering insights or value, reduces credibility and reach

‍

15) Plagiarism:

If you’re resharing someone’s content, always credit them and add your own perspective. Blind reposts without attribution are not acceptable

‍

16) Unconstructive Negativity:

Avoid mocking, dismissing, or tearing others down. Constructive criticism is welcome, but negativity without purpose adds no value

‍

Our content shapes narratives, opens conversations, & builds trust. But with that influence comes responsibility.
