Hate of LGBTQIA+ people?

LinkedIn removed its hate speech protections against transgender people from its policies against hate speech and derogatory content.

More specifically, in its hate speech protections policies, LinkedIn no longer has deadnaming and misgendering of transgender people as examples of prohibited conduct.

According to Open Terms Archive, unlike other communications of changes made to its policies, “the service did not otherwise communicate publicly on this change in its Trust & Safety blog, like it did for example to describe how it improved enforcement of its community guidelines at scale.”
