LinkedIn took down the Portuguese startup Amplemarket from its network, along with the profiles of its founders. Amplemarket is an AI-based sales tool that's used around the world. The company had raised more than $12 million to grow, especially in the US.
It's possible that LinkedIn removed Amplemarket because the company used data from the platform in a way that goes against LinkedIn's rules.
These rules are getting stricter because of laws like GDPR and the growing competition in AI technology. LinkedIn also has tools like Sales Navigator that compete directly with services like Amplemarket.
Other companies have faced similar issues, such as Apollo.io and Seamless.ai.
Although Amplemarket says its product and customer services are still working fine, it's unclear how this will affect its presence on social media and its brand visibility. This situation shows how social networks are taking a stronger stand on how data is used in the age of AI.
