LinkedIn telling me my colleague is a criminal

I am not making this up. LinkedIn recently introduced a highlight feature which looks for your name in the news and sends the feed to all your connections. I recently got the feed that "did you know your colleague xyz is a criminal" . I was shocked to get that feed, and when I looked at the actual news article, the only thing remotely matching was name of my colleague.

Did you report him to HR?

The guy in the article is obviously not my colleague. The point I was trying to make is this is so fucked up on LinkedIn part.

This sounds made up af. Makes no sense, let HR figure it out and keep to your own business before you get yourself in trouble spreading rumors with zero data other than "LinkedIn told me so".

This is a LinkedIn feature. You can turn it off. It's called include your name in articles to your connections.
