Conclusion
Blocking LinkedIn members can help stop unwanted or harassing messages, connection requests, or comments from individuals who are inappropriate, spammy or irrelevant to your LinkedIn professional network.
It’s important to use the LinkedIn blocking feature carefully and only when necessary.
The LinkedIn team encourages professional networking, so blocking should typically be reserved for instances where communication is unwanted, inappropriate, or potentially harmful to your experience on LinkedIn.
