Can my employer ask LindedIn to delete posts of mine?












-1















Let's assume my LinkedIn account shows the name of my current employer (as most accounts do). Can the employer ask LinkedIn to delete posts of mine which they don't want to see associated with the company? Can they do this even if the posts are by no means offending or inappropriate? Does this right differ by country?

  • Rather than contacting LinkedIn, I feel like any company would go directly to you during cases like these and ask you to take down those posts. Though you'd have to have posted something really concerning to the company for them to want it taken down.

They can certainly ask. Whether or not LinkedIn will comply, only LinkedIn can say for sure. Or waiting to see.



But, since your employer objects to these posts, do you really want to upset them?



Remove the posts yourself, apologizing is not necessary, but would not hurt.



Then ask you employer for a clear, written policy on what you may post when their name is visible and will appear to be associated with it.

    They can try...



    In practice, it'll be difficult and your employer would need to provide a very good reason for wanting your content to be edited.



    LinkedIn's editing policy will be governed by LinkedIn, so you'll need to ask them directly, or use the official support forum to ask this question.
