The Perspective on LinkedIn Restrictions:
LinkedIn restrictions, while seemingly negative, are not always detrimental. Since 2019, LinkedIn has enforced stricter regulations on certain activities, making restrictions more common.
Primary Causes of LinkedIn Restrictions:
User Complaints: Inappropriate outreach tactics, such as overly direct or impolite communication, can lead to complaints from other LinkedIn users.
Increased Profile Activity: A significant rise in activity on LinkedIn, whether through manual efforts or Automation tools, can result in restrictions. It's important to gradually increase activity levels.
Exceeding Interaction Limits: Overuse of connection requests, either manually or through automation, can trigger restrictions.
Rapid Account Activity: Excessively quick reactions and activities on LinkedIn are monitored and can be suspicious.
Multiple Log-ins into different LinkedIn Accounts from the Same Browser with the same cookies: To avoid this issue, it is advisable to use browser extensions for clearing cookies.
Incomplete Profiles: Profiles lacking comprehensive information may be mistaken for automated bots.
Inconsistency between the Profile information and the ID you use for verification
Verification through fake IDs
Profiles with AI generated photos for a profile picture
Multiple sessions using different IPs, from different countries
Inaccurate Professional Information: Providing illogical or incorrect workplace and location details can lead to account restrictions. If you change your location, this can also lead to request for verification
New Policies: Verification request wasn't as common as it is now earlier but now the verification request might even be random, especially if you've never went through it or maybe you started using your account after a long period of inactivity.
Resolution of LinkedIn Restrictions:
Restrictions on LinkedIn are typically temporary, and require user verification by ID or work email to lift.
To regain access, users should follow the provided instructions upon login, which may include identity verification. The process usually takes between 2 to 5 days, and users will be notified via email once the restriction is lifted.
You can verify your account with ID prematurely, it's just an option on LinkedIn, but it's a different case, and available only for some countries (depending on your location stated on LinkedIn). Here we are covering the verification that was the result of account restriction.
