LinkedIn issues warning to a site shaming pro-Palestinian sentiment

LinkedIn has issued a warning to a website that is shaming pro-Palestinian sentiment. The website, called anti-israel-employees.com, published thousands of posts taken mostly from LinkedIn, listing employees of major international corporations. It aimed to expose people who publicly supported Hamas, but also targeted those who expressed support for Palestine. The site faced criticism for equating pro-Palestinian sentiment with supporting terrorism. LinkedIn said the site violated its rules by scraping content, while the website's operators vowed to continue their fight.
