Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal on Thursday slammed LinkedIn after the social media platform removed his post on pronoun illness. Aggarwal said that the platform’s AI moderation is imposing a political ideology on Indian users.

“Dear LinkedIn, this post of mine was about YOUR AI imposing a political ideology on Indian users that’s unsafe, and sinister. Rich of you to call my post unsafe! This is exactly why we need to build our own tech and AI in India. Else we’ll just be pawns in others political objectives,” Aggarwal said in a post on X.  He also shared a screenshot of a note from LinkedIn about his viral post on gender pronoun illness.

The notification from LinkedIn said that his post was removed because it was against the platform’s “Professional Community Policies”.

Earlier, the Ola CEO had shared a post slamming gender pronouns. “Hoping that this “pronoun illness” doesn’t reach India. Many “big city schools” in India are now teaching it to kids. Also see many CVs with pronouns these days. Need to know where to draw the line in following the west blindly!” Aggarwal said while sharing the screenshot of the AI bot’s answer.

“Screenshot is from LinkedIn’s AI bot. This “pronouns illness” is being perpetuated in India by MNCs without us Indians even realising it,” he added.
