Censored by LinkedIn? Good. You’re Closer to the Truth Than You Think.

There’s a certain irony in the modern digital world: the platforms that claim to “empower professionals” are often the first to shut you down when your message doesn’t align with the system.

This week, my LinkedIn account was temporarily closed.

No warning. No clear reason. Just a polite “your account has been restricted” notice that left me unable to share content, post updates, or connect with the audience I’ve spent months building.

And you know what?
I’m not mad. I’m energized.

The System Can’t Handle Dissonance

If your voice doesn’t flatter the status quo, you’re a “risk.”
If your message exposes the game being played behind the scenes, you’re a “violator.”

But let’s call it what it really is: control.

LinkedIn, like many platforms, has become a polished, digital gatekeeper. It rewards conformity and punishes disruption — especially when disruption threatens to wake people up.

I talk about real issues.
About corporate decay.
About the invisible trap that keeps talented people small.
About how we rise — not through fake positivity or recycled career tips, but by breaking the damn system.

Apparently, that was too much.

Restriction is the New Badge of Honor

Being silenced doesn’t mean I was wrong.
It means I was effective.

Ask anyone who’s ever made real change — they didn’t get there by being liked. They got there by being unignorable.

If you’re not making people uncomfortable, you’re probably not saying anything worth hearing.

So if you’ve been restricted, shadowbanned, or flagged — take a breath. Then smile.

You just earned your first badge of impact.
