Linkedin: do you have it blocked or accessible for students?

 

Cheers

Blocked; I'd do the same for adults if people weren't insistent on thinking it's useful At least on Twitter you know what you're getting, linkedin is just sleazy in a different way. I equate it to American Psycho

Blocked, but if a school put forward a convincing case for it to be open to say sixth formers I dont think I would have much issue

 

Worth noting you have to be 16 to use Linkedin

 

The Services are not for use by anyone under the age of 16.To use the Services, you agree that: (1) you must be the "Minimum Age"(described below) or older; (2) you will only have one LinkedIn account, which must be in your real name; and (3) you are not already restricted by LinkedIn from using the Services. Creating an account with false information is a violation of our terms, including accounts registered on behalf of others or persons under the age of 16.“Minimum Age” means 16 years old. However, if law requires that you must be older in order for LinkedIn to lawfully provide the Services to you without parental consent (including using of your personal data) then the Minimum Age is such older age.

We don't have a sixth form, so blocked.
