LinkedIn will stop working in China due to increased censorship

The site will cease operation in China due to “a significantly more complex operating environment and higher requirements,” Microsoft said.

LinkedIn, a social networking site for professional contacts, will be replaced in China with job search site InJobs due to increased internet censorship in the country. About this with reference to the statement of Microsoft Corporation informs The Wall Street Journal Friday 15 October.

As explained in Microsoft, LinkedIn will be closed in China due to “significantly more complex operating environment and higher requirements.”

In turn, the InJobs site, which will appear in China instead of LinkedIn, will not have social network functions, in particular, the feed, and will not allow users to share publications.

Note that LinkedIn was launched in China in 2014, but with limited features to comply with stricter Internet laws. LinkedIn was the last major American social network to operate in China.

Recall that earlier BBC World News banned in China… The British television channel allegedly seriously violated the rules of television and radio broadcasting in the PRC.
