BRUSSELS (Reuters) - LinkedIn on Friday signed up to the European Union's voluntary code of conduct to combat illegal hate speech online, joining its parent Microsoft, Facebook and Google's YouTube.

The move comes as social media and online platforms face a raft of legislative proposals on both sides of the Atlantic that would require them to do more to counter online hate speech and disinformation, blamed for helping to fuel a wave of racist attacks in some countries.
