Microsoft to shut down LinkedIn in China, cites 'challenging' environment
LinkedIn said in a blog post that it would replace the platform later this year with a stripped-down version that would focus only on jobs, called 'InJobs', which would not include a social feed or share options.
The platform expanded in China in 2014, acknowledging at the time that the company would have to censor some of the content users posted on its website to comply with Chinese rules. Source: Reuters
