Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating LinkedIn, claiming that the company has advertised misleading or fake job opportunities to its Premium subscribers, KVUE
reports. Paxton charged that LinkedIn has long marketed its paid Premium subscription services to “job seekers who have the expectation that the platform’s job listings
represent legitimate, active hiring opportunities.” However, LinkedIn’s marketing materials do not disclose that “a significant percentage of job postings may be inactive, unfilled,
or otherwise not representative of genuine hiring opportunities,” he added.
