LinkedIn users have sparked controversy in recent years by turning the business networking platform into a quasi-dating app. According to a new study conducted by DatingNews, 52% of people interviewed said they had organized a date through a networking website like LinkedIn.
This trend is particularly concerning for female users. Research published in 2023 revealed that out of 1,000 female LinkedIn accounts, a staggering 91% reported receiving romantic and inappropriate messages at least once. The study highlighted that most of these "out-of-line messages" were propositions for romantic or sexual encounters.
