How is the Signal thing related? There seems to be an indication that getting banned on LinkedIn will prevent you from signing up to Signal. I don't think it was intended to be read as such but language is really weird:

> But tried to install Signal couple of days later from App store. And you guess the rest.

No, no I did not guess that getting banned on LinkedIn would prevent you from signing in to Signal.

I can see Microsoft using some system across their sites, which would affect your Github account, if you're blocked or banned on LinkedIn. It would be a pretty excessive, but I can imagine such a system. As to how Signal is involved I have no idea.
