Dan Q<p>I got kicked off LinkedIn this week. Apparently there was "suspicious behaviour" on my account. To get back in, I needed to go through Persona's digital ID check (this, despite the fact that I've got a Persona-powered verification on my LinkedIn, less than six months old).</p><p>After looping around many times identifying which way up a picture of a dog was and repeatedly photographing myself, my passport, and my driving license, I eventually got back in. Personally, I suspect they just rolled out some Online Safety Act functionality and it immediately tripped over my unusual name.</p><p>But let this be a reminder to anybody who (unlike me) depends upon their account in a social network: it can be taken away in a moment and be laborious (or impossible) to get back. If you care about your online presence, you should own your own domain name; simple as that!</p><p><a href="https://m.danq.me/tags/note" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>note</span></a> <a href="https://m.danq.me/tags/socialNetworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>socialNetworking</span></a> <a href="https://m.danq.me/tags/linkedin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linkedin</span></a> <a href="https://m.danq.me/tags/laws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>laws</span></a> <a href="https://m.danq.me/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a></p><p>Via: 🔗 <a href="https://danq.me/2025/07/25/26931/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">danq.me/2025/07/25/26931/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
