LinkedIn, primarily a revenue-generating platform via advertising and premium subscriptions, is actively enforcing its data usage policies. Recently, the company banned sales engagement tools Apollo.io and Seamless.ai for allegedly scraping data, violating LinkedIn's terms of service. Despite these bans, the companies still appear in searches, but attempts to access their pages yield errors. This action follows previous enforcement measures against other similar platforms, underscoring LinkedIn's commitment to protecting its data integrity and tightening data access.
LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft, generates revenue from ads and premium services rather than sharing data, drawing attention to its recent ban on sales tools that scrape its site.
Sales engagement platforms like Apollo.io and Seamless.ai, using Chrome extensions to extract LinkedIn data, faced bans, signaling LinkedIn's firm stance against data scraping.
