Naturally, it is not in LinkedIn’s interest to change this; the corporation’s behavior is logical and understandable. But that’s not the real question. What about the community’s reaction? Has this simply been accepted as a given—normalized and justified? And what about the rank-and-file support staff who send you a template—telling you that you’re writing from the wrong email address and that you should use the one linked to your account—do they know they are peddling a blatant lie? Or do they not know? Or perhaps they simply choose not to know? "We were just following orders; we didn't know anything." I am narrowing the scope of the issue as much as possible: I am not discussing why accounts end up "restricted"—whether that’s fair or not—nor am I addressing other problems. I am focusing solely on this one specific aspect.
