A few days back, I had put up a post on LinkedIn stating that Jobbie has cancelled the offer letter of 22 LPA extended to a candidate because of derogatory comments they had posted on LinkedIn against certain religious communities.
The post got crazy viral and was captured by publishers across the country and what followed after that something we expected but not of this magnitude.
The post had one single motive:
To make social media free of abuse directed at any community, and to remind those who spread such hatred that their actions have consequences.
But the keyboard warriors proved the point in real time. They flooded the comments with the very same hate the post was condemning. When they saw that we remained unfazed and unshaken, they resorted to mass-reporting the account until the verified profile was taken down.
It didn’t stop there
There’s a saying: When you can’t destroy someone’s work, you try to destroy their reputation.
- The website was brought down for 12–15 hours.
- Fake reviews poured in on Google, dragging our rating from 4.8 to 3.4
- Some of our employees were harassed about why they work for a Muslim founder (We have since asked them to remove affiliation with us from their LinkedIn profiles).
- A few media houses published the news with a religious angle designed to incite hate.
I never mentioned any community’s name in my post. People simply judged that I am Muslim, assumed the other person must be Hindu, and concluded I took away someone’s offer based on religion.
The irony is that the very account trying to bring communal harmony on LinkedIn was taken down for so-called ‘communal violations’ by the same platform.
A Voice Raised… A Voice Silenced.
It has been 11 days, and still the account is restricted on the platform, even after verifying the identity again.
Common sense comes pretty uncommon these days!!
PS1: I had put a post on r/delhi subreddit 3 days ago, a handful redditors have reached out stating to put here instead.
PS2: If anyone from you reading this post, is working at LinkedIn, please kindly reach out to me.
