LinkedIn Seeks Default vs. 2 Defendants for ‘Inauthentic Engagement’

LinkedIn wants the U.S. District Court for Northern California to enter default against the website TopSocial24 and its owner Golam Mostafa for failing to appear or otherwise defend against allegations they sell “inauthentic engagement,” including fake followers, fake comments, fake likes and fake connections, said its filing Tuesday (docket 5:23-cv-00110). After the clerk enters the defendants’ default, LinkedIn will move the court for a default judgment under Rule 55(b), it said.
