Should I use someone else’s picture on my LinkedIn profile?

Question

A lot of people act like they don’t want to do business with black males, so how should one go about using the picture of a white man or an attractive woman to represent their business without exposing themselves to potential clients?

There is a website called 'This Person Does Not Exist'.  You can use pictures of those people.  If you just take a picture off  someone else's site you will be sued.

Personally, I would not care just put your own picture there, but assuming it really does help you bring business just make like an icon with your business name instead and use that as ur profile, it's alot better than putting someone else.

Starting things off with a blatant lie is never a good thing to do.
