LinkedIn introduced tools letting members vouch for colleagues' or classmates' work history, distinct from endorsements, and gave companies new controls over who can associate with their brand on the platform.

Jay Jones, laid off from advertising in 2023, says he has helped get almost 60,000 fraudulent job postings removed from the internet, mostly on LinkedIn, and has flagged roughly 7,000 suspicious profiles.

The label must appear in the bio header as well as on individual posts, Reels and Stories, and accounts that fail to add it will have their reach restricted. As of Monday afternoon, popular AI personas like Lil Miquela, Imma and Aitana Lopez had not yet been labeled, and Instagram hasn't clarified whether labeling will be automatic or manual.
