Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy called LinkedIn’s statement that restricting his account was an error “laughable” and “totally dishonest” on Friday.
Ramaswamy said his account was locked on May 17 and that his team “asked them in writing to point out what was false.”

In LinkedIn’s email from May 24, the Microsoft-owned company said it doesn't allow any “misinformation, hate speech, violence or any form of abuse” on the app.
“This wasn’t a technical glitch, it was an intentional act of censorship of my views on Biden, China, and climate change,” Ramaswamy tweeted. “Typical Big Tech behavior: trying to cover their tracks after egregious election interference.”
The entrepreneur claimed on Thursday that he had been barred from the networking social media platform for posting content that contained "misleading or inaccurate information," violating its user agreement.
A LinkedIn spokesperson told the Washington Examiner Thursday afternoon that Ramaswamy's account was "restricted in error" and is back online.
LinkedIn cited Ramaswamy's violations, listing three videos containing comments about President Joe Biden and China and climate policies.
LinkedIn informed Ramaswamy in an email of an appeal process if he believed his flagged content complies with the community policies.

Ramaswamy called on Satya Nadella, CEO and chairman of Microsoft, to make a statement that would “publicly condemn” LinkedIn for restricting his account “or else this is just the beginning of 2024 election interference.”
The Washington Examiner reached out to LinkedIn for comment.
