How to fix it

Do not post. Remove the content entirely.

Good to know

Any person who may be under 18 shown in a sexual or sexualized way, or text/speech soliciting such material. LinkedIn reports it to NCMEC, and child sexual abuse material can permanently restrict the account after one violation. Non-sexual child nudity is covered by “Any child nudity, even innocent”.

Can FYProof spot it?

A full check of your video looks for it in what's shown, what's said, the words on screen and the caption. What a check finds is an estimate, not a guarantee.

  • Video: looked at for this rule
  • Speech: looked at for this rule
  • On-screen text: looked at for this rule
  • Caption: looked at for this rule
  • Hashtags: not for this rule

Platforms change their rules often. This page sums up what LinkedIn publishes; it isn't legal advice.
