-LinkedIn’s UGC data transparency relies on a [Beta Researcher Access Program](https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/research-api-terms) in the European Union under the DSA’s Article 40, with no equivalent resource available in Brazil or the UK. Advertising transparency is assessed through the [LinkedIn Ad Library](https://www.linkedin.com/ad-library) across all three regions, although data access regimes vary. During our assessment, a research access request was submitted but received no response, preventing empirical verification of the Researcher Access Program’s API. On the advertising side, the LinkedIn Ad Library API provides programmatic access to all ad types across the three regions, with data retained for up to one year after an ad’s last impression. However, key information—such as ad delivery periods and targeting criteria—is only verifiable in the EU. The tool’s graphical interface does not offer any data export functionality in any region, and persistent gaps include the absence of engagement metrics, advertiser verification status, AI-content labeling, and ad spending data. As a result, the advertising framework falls within the Deficient to Restricted band globally, reflecting API availability offset by significant completeness gaps, while the UGC framework is Not Available outside the EU and remains unverifiable within it.
