Why does having a LinkedIn profile mean you're legit?

[Ucy]

I think it depends on whether linkdn verifies its users claims. I really never liked the "connection" method used on the internet in telling whether users  are honest or not. It probably would work in physical societies where breaking of law is taken seriously, because people will be careful not to connect with any kind of persons without knowing their histories or recent activities.

I think the verification thing would work best on decentralized networks where anonymity/privacy is taken seriously. For example, safe bots could be used to scan through and analyze someones activities on decentralized communities without violating the person privacy in any way. This can be used to determine the trustworthiness of such person. And it should be automated scanning and analyzing. No other person needs to know what the bots know about the person. Only the person's Trust scores or Reputation can be displayed on the his/her decentralized "LinkedIn" profile.

I don't think having a LinkedIn profile means you are legitimate Because the stranger you don't know will never help you Their purpose is to be scammed. Social media is getting worse because of these scammers. These sites are easy to create but they cannot be trusted Replaces fake accounts and drives invalid routes That's why we need to be aware of our work.
