LinkedIn must provide the requested information by 5 April 2024. Based on the assessment of LinkedIn's reply, the Commission will assess next steps. A request for information is an investigatory act that does not prejudge potential further steps the Commission may or may not decide to take. However, pursuant to Article 74 (2) of the DSA, the Commission can impose fines for incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information in response to a request for information.
Following the designation as a very large online platform in April 2023, LinkedIn is required to comply with the full set of provisions introduced by the DSA, including the obligation to enable users to identify basic information about the nature and origins of an advertisement and the ban on presenting advertisements based on profiling using special categories of personal data, such as sexual orientation, political opinions, or race.
This enforcement action is based on a complaint submitted to the Commission by civil society organisations.
