In China, LinkedIn will be replaced with a new app, InJobs which will have few similar features to LinkedIn but will not have a social feed or will not let users share posts or articles. In a blog post, Microsoft says, Earlier, in March, LinkedIn said no new members would be able to sign-up on LinkedIn China. Many scholars reported on getting warning letters from LinkedIn as they were sharing prohibited content that will not be viewable in China, but other country users can see it. It’s been around seven years now when LinkedIn was launched in a simple Chinese version. At the time of launch in 2014, China raised difficult questions, because it required to censor content.
