Microsoft to shut down LinkedIn in China
By MYBRANDBOOK
Microsoft says it’ll shut down LinkedIn in China, by facing a “challenging operating environment” as Beijing tightens control over tech firms.
LinkedIn said it would replace the Chinese service, which restricts posting of certain content due to regulatory requirements, with a new portal called InJobs. The new service, which will be launched later this year, will not include a social feed or the ability to share posts or articles, it said.
We are facing a significantly more challenging operating environment and greater compliance requirements in China,” senior vice-president of engineering, Mohak Shroff said, in a blog post .As per the source, LinkedIn was given a deadline by Chinese internet regulators to better oversee content on the site.
Chinese authorities have been targeting a range of domestic tech behemoths for alleged monopolistic practices and aggressive harvesting of consumer data. The government has said it wants platforms to more actively promote core socialist values.
LinkedIn blocks profiles from view in China if sensitive topics mentioned. The drive is part of a wider government policy to tighten its grip on the world’s number two economy, including targeting private education, property and casinos.
LinkedIn is the only major U.S.-owned social network operating in the country, where the government requires such platforms to follow strict rules and regulations.
