LinkedIn quietly changed the language of its hateful content policy this week. The update, the company’s first change in three years according to the site’s own changelog, removed a line that stated the company prohibits the misgendering and deadnaming of transgender individuals.
The change, which was first noted by the organization Open Terms Archive, was the only modification to the ”hateful and derogatory content” policy. An archived version of the rules includes ”misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals” as an example of prohibited content under the policy. That line was removed on July 28, 2025.
