Azerbaijan’s Hijab Crackdown Ignites Protests & Triggers Social Media Blackout
Azerbaijan’s enforcement of secular school dress codes has barred hijab-wearing girls and teachers, sparking widespread student protests, arrests, and vehicle arsons. Authorities responded with blocks on TikTok, Instagram, and X, confirmed by monitors. The moves highlight tensions in a 96% Muslim nation and fit a global pattern of rising internet restrictions.
This isn’t really a tip but for those using LinkedIn it’s a defo must read.
A New Network Feed To Stay Close With People You Know Is Coming…
LinkedIn is testing a dedicated Network feed that brings posts from your connections and people you follow, making it easier to keep up with the people you know and trust. This test is rolling out in select markets, starting with the U.S., India, U.K., and Australia.
…Have You Got This Feature Yet?
You’ll know if you have LinkedIn’s split dual-feed feature because two distinct tabs will appear directly at the top of your LinkedIn homepage: “For You” and “Network”.

Is It Time To Give Your LinkedIn Profile A Facelift?
Does your LinkedIn profile encourage your ideal prospects to talk to you?
You wouldn’t believe the amount of times I’ve delivered training to people who haven’t checked their profile in years and I really do mean years. Their profile is a CV, it has the wrong phone number, personal emails, sections missing and sections written to land them a job, not a new client.
Honestly, spend 5 minutes doing a bit of copy and pasting to check your profile positioning and lead generating effectiveness through my free scoring app. Click here to try it.
If you get below 80/85 then you need to be taking a look at how your profile is set up. You can, of course, speak to me about this. I’ll gladly help you improve your LinkedIn positioning and score.
