Do you mean in your country, region or world?

In the country but many of us have connections to our counterparts in various parts of the world.

Usually, put some bullet points and buzzwords without any specific references and details.
Also, follow "Private Aerospace Corporation" instead of "SpaceX" pattern as current/previous place of works.

Yeh I do something similar.

Made my day :). Reminds me "I cannot disclose the name of the company, but it is big and based in Redmond" (the last example I took from an "NDA training of my former employer as an example NDA violation).

That doesn't sound very legal. Did they create an individual account for each of you, filling in your profile, without even asking?

Huh, last two jobs I heard at least several times "put a like on Linkedin under our new post". I decided not to react on such stuff and I don't do what they ask for. I'm pretty confident that certain types of roles (such as marketing) have to use their personal linkedin account for company promotions. And if one changes the job and starts working for a competitor... Well, then there is a mandatory new post about "exciting news" and "new opportunities", and then all goes the same road again.

May be this is not even that bad, after all they are in marketing, and their spam blogposts are their portfolio. But I feel like they don't have a choice here.

Most companies have an online presence - Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ (is that still a thing). In fact, my companies email signature has all the icon links to said Social Media sites.

No one on the technical side of things has been armtwisted into liking any social media post, but I am sure this is a thing within the group that manages the company's social media.

If someone asked me to do it, I would refuse. I try, and sometimes fail, to keep a small online footprint. I do not comment or like posts on LinkedIn nor do I have a Twitter account. I am currently mulling over dumping Facebook.
