LinkedIn updated its privacy policy to prohibit users of the popular social network for professionals, from posting content that promotes prostitution.

LinkedIn updated its privacy policy and user agreement on Monday, according to tech site Mashable.

"Don't undertake the following: Upload, post, email, InMail, transmit or otherwise make available or initiate any content that: Even if it is legal where you are located, create profiles or provide content that promotes escort services or prostitution," LinkedIN wrote on it's private policy.

The social network has always prohibited users from "unlawful" activities, a Linkedin representative told Mashable. However the network felt the need to reword the policy because there are some countries in which LinkedIn operates where prostituion is actually legal, reports Mashable.

"In the old [user agreement], we had it covered by saying that one could not use a profile to promote anything 'unlawful,'" the rep told Mashable.

"However, in some countries, that activity actually is lawful," he added.

According to a Huffington Post search of profiles, there are actually women and men alike who advertise their sexual services on LinkedIn who are often listed with occupations such as Sensual Naked Sexy Massage Girls, Professional escort for hire, Personal Fitness Trainer, Masseur, Escort at Urban Fitness & Massage Services.

LinkedIn users can list "prostitution" as a skill however the context appears to refer to people who work to fight against prostituion and human trafficking.
