   The USENET may had been originally implemented by UUCP without the   
   Internet.

   LinkedIn removes contents which are legal which do not violate any   
   LinkedIn rule. Cf.   
   HTTPS://Gloucester.Insomnia247.NL/drochdhliodoiri/Scholastica_or

   LinkedIn refuses to obey laws and hypocritically pretends to do so.   
   LinkedIn does not remove all things on LinkedIn which violate a LinkedIn   
   rule.

   |One of the most striking features of Usenet is its provision   |   
   |for anonymity. On Usenet, you can post messages without        |   
   |revealing your real identity. You don't have to provide a name,|   
   |phone number, or any other personally identifiable information |   
   |when posting."                                                 |

   Anonymity on a website or in an email is illegal according to Germany   
   (except an exception) or Austria. Anonymity on the USENET could be illegal   
   according to e.g. Austria.
