Right? Dude, please provide some additional context around your web browser stack because something you’re using is triggering their system. That or you’re click house neighbours are using your wifi.
Why do you assume LinkedIn is correct? I've seen multiple social networks pull the scam where they claim you've violated their ToS only to demand your phone number and other personal information for "verification", and then after they've slurped your data, they don't seem to care about the so-called "violations" anymore.
Twitter pulled that stunt on me: within minutes after creating an account, having done precisely nothing with it yet, they locked me out with some vague complaint about security and suspicious behavior, demanding a phone number. I refused to comply, and several weeks of daily complaints to customer support eventually got the account unlocked, with no explanation; they are clearly just harvesting numbers for the sake of it.
I have private relay enabled via iOS iCloud. I have no extensions installed. Preload top hit is enabled on safari by default. (Not sure if this is could be a factor). I only use safari across my devices. 2FA is enabled for LinkedIn and save password. That is it. I access LinkedIn frequently throughout the day.
I can see that might be it - because it means LinkedIn would be seeing you logging-in from different IP addresses in different geolocations every time (though Apple doesn't let you virtually change-country, I understand in the US it does make it look like you've moved-state).
I also use iCloud Private Relay and LinkedIn seems happy in my case. There has to be more to it and I wish they’d make these kinds of guards more transparent. You can’t just ban people because some crappy algo thinks you’re a bot.
Thank you. I recently dropped my full time job to start a consulting job. I needed LinkedIn for the crucial networking during my early stages. Now I am completely banned without knowing why
Good point. I checked my private relay settings in iOS iCloud. It is set as “maintain general location” along with a description “ Maintain your general location to receive localized content, or enhance your privacy by using a broader IP address based on your country and time zone.
Safari Private Browsing always uses an IP location from your country and time zone.”
The CEO is told they need to layoff by the CFO. The CEO agrees, then the corporate strategy team devise a strategy with the PR team. After the strategy is devised, the severance and headcount numbers are sent to the CFO for approval. The CFO should be the final go/nogo. Off course, the CEO can come in and change his mind, but that wouldn't be wise since the CFO has the best understanding of the economic situation and company's financial health.
Correction: They /attempted/ to add an /optional/ feature for your /children's/ account(s).
Do you have kids? Daughters? Would you like better control over what they're exposed to? Being given the tools to track screen time, purchases and control where possible exposure to objectionable content for immature minds isn't a bad thing.. provided it is opt-in. Which the feature always was before the news cycle chose their own narrative.
Are you sure you meant to use “FUD” in this sentence? It doesn’t make sense. “Elon and his sales team (“they”) are selling this fear uncertainty and doubt”.
EVE Online has highly sophisticated user fingerprinting to prevent fraud and real money trading. So even if you got through with that email address it wouldn't be long before an issue was raised for your account.
With EVE, fraud comes in many ways and most would presume credit card fraud but because you can earn ISK in-game, which can be converted/sold for PLEX (their game-time subscription currency, worth real $) many items (Capital Ships, High Experience Characters, Corporations) are bought and sold for real money outside of the platform - which in some cases, is revenue that EVE would/could benefit from if PLEX was purchased from them directly and used legitimately instead.
So aside from basic things like blocking utility email addresses, they have sophisticated algorithms that monitor user accounts for unusual activity. The definition of unusual is constantly growing/changing and it is monitored and managed by a dedicated "security" team.

I know your question is for Windows, but in case someone was wondering about MacOS:
Aside from being able to manage some persistent login items under Settings > Users > Login Items, there is a free tool available from Patrick Wardle that helps manage the hidden launch items (like updaters) on MacOS called Knock Knock.
Although to be fair, while this has been super annoying, they are slowly getting there with recent releases. It definitely has the new product manager 'start from scratch clean slate' vs 'inherited mess' while co-existing vibes. Once they have hit parity, the cadence of this new team's releases should turn into a feature because they are consistently releasing updates/fixes way differently to previous management.
I still hate that the iOS Protect UX/UI has never used their own app beyond 9-5, as dark mode was removed and the interface is PURE WHITE. The iOS Network UX/UI designer has clearly used their app at night, hence a dark mode existing.
How do you know what the UDM IPS does/does not block? Is it displayed somewhere? Is it updated at a different cadence to the firmware/software updates?
