This doesn't follow at all. You could just as well say, "You don't have to be employed to be in a business office, ergo a workplace cannot be a workplace under all conditions."

This is semantic gymnastics around the word "workplace," not a reasoned evaluation of the circumstances or whether it's reasonable to expect workplace-appropriate standards of behavior on LinkedIn.

False equivalency, the vast majority of people in a business office on a day to day basis are employees of that business office.

LinkedIn is a /recruiting website/. Unemployed people are a key part of it's core demographic.
