Data scraping, or third parties taking personal data from your profile without permission, is a breach of our policies and when necessary we take legal action as part of our efforts to combat it. We will continue to fight on behalf of our members to stop illegal scraping. From taking legal action against unauthorized scraping to making significant investments in technical defenses, we are committed to keeping the control of data where it belongs - with our members.AI Verified source (2025)

The quote is real and appears verbatim in two consecutive paragraphs on the official LinkedIn Pressroom page at the supplied URL, under the headline “LinkedIn takes legal action to defend member privacy,” published January 24, 2025. The page is bylined “LinkedIn Corporate Communications,” so attributing it to LinkedIn as the organization is supported, though that byline is the more precise author label.

AI Unverifiable
Source URL (news.linkedin.com 2025 'LinkedIn takes legal action to defend member privacy') returns HTTP 403 from WebFetch. Web search confirms the page exists with this content: LinkedIn explicitly states data scraping is a breach of policies and has filed multiple 2025 lawsuits (against ProAPIs Inc., Proxycurl) to keep control of member data. Vote (Against 'Grant developers the right to interoperate with large platforms without permission') aligns precisely with LinkedIn's anti-scraping, permission-required posture. Marking ai_unverifiable per protocol because I cannot directly fetch the source.
