NEW LinkedIn Feature Rollouts usually follow a standard 5 🌊 Waves: ⤨ Randomized, ⏳Timed, & ↑ Increasing in Size, so that LinkedIn can evaluate, adjust, sometimes eliminate, and ultimately to reduce any negative impact, unpredicted loads or code collisions that might blow up the platform.

Historically, a clean rollout takes ~30 to 90 Days to complete but over the last few of years we have had rollouts that have taken over a year to complete, some never complete, and the feature is removed.

▲ [Two-step verification] for unrecognized devices is now required. A pop-up informs the Member to set up this secure gateway to avoid being locked out of their account.

My inside sources say that this implementation is due to the proliferation of influencer members allowing others to log into their accounts, using their credentials, to manage their Activity. This gives the influencer insight and control over who is logged into their account, providing them with a gateway to exclusive security code access. By removing any old active sessions, the [in]fluencer can then establish a controlled and revokable gateway without having to change passwords.

These restrictions were implemented over 10 years ago, but no pop-up warning was provided; you could no longer comment, and that usually led to help requests.

I experienced this limit back in 2018, when I reached 1,100 comments in one day, mostly responding to other comments on my post.

▲ [About] summaries blocking the use of Fancy Fonts & auto-converting prior uploaded Fancy Fonts into standard platform fonts.

Similar to Fancy Fonts being blocked from Headlines on 1.25.2025

My opinion why: Not only are Fancy fonts not indexable by search engines, including [in]’s own internal search & ranking assets, they pose several security risks:

► Malicious Font Files: Fonts can be used to spread malware, viruses, or Trojan horses. When you download & install a font, you may inadvertently introduce malware into your system.

► Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Some font generators may inject malicious scripts into your website, allowing attackers to steal sensitive information or take control of your website.

► Font Rendering Engine Vulnerabilities: Font rendering engines can be susceptible to hacking, allowing attackers to exploit vulnerabilities & gain access to your system.

► Data Leaks: When you use external font resources, your visitors may leak information to the third-party host as their browsers request the resources in the background, posing privacy concerns.

If you ever wondered why anyone would go to the expense to create & maintain a Fancy Font generator for free or included as part of an app, think about the above.

How well do you really know that architect & what they want to accomplish?

Where else will [in] ban Fancy Fonts and are they actively suppressing those who use them?

If you use Fancy Fonts, you might ask yourself has my [in] presence decreased?

✰ [Verified on LinkedIn] can now be displayed on other sites.

Originally launched in April 2023, initially as a free verification system that allows users to confirm their identity, workplace, or education, using government-issued IDs, work email addresses, or third-party services such as CLEAR, or Microsoft Entra. LinkedIn users that verify their identities get a badge added to their profile page, showing other platform users that the person is authentic. A year later, the company expanded this feature to include recruiter verification, as well, to combat job-related scams. Verified recruiters receive a checkmark badge on their profiles, as well.

⚠️ No information available on what might be shared with and back from the other platform about us, our certification or addition marketing data.

You may request it for your Platform or Give Feedback.

https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/ask/VERIFIED_REQUEST

I was contacted about this from Perplexity back on Mar 26, 2025.

Asked both Perplexity and LinkedIn for details and only Perplexity Responded and here is what they said:

The partnership between Perplexity and LinkedIn is designed to enhance authenticity and trust by allowing users to add their LinkedIn verification information to their Perplexity profiles. This integration aims to create more meaningful interactions on the Perplexity platform.

Key Points About the Partnership

Purpose: The partnership is intended to increase trust and authenticity by linking verified LinkedIn profiles with Perplexity accounts. This can help users verify identities and build credibility within the Perplexity community.
Impact on Users: For users, this means that their LinkedIn verification can be used to enhance their Perplexity profile, potentially increasing their visibility and credibility. However, it may also raise privacy concerns, as users are sharing personal verification data across platforms.
Involvement at LinkedIn: While specific individuals involved at LinkedIn are not mentioned in the available information, Jessica Chan, who previously worked on LinkedIn’s content partner programs, is now Perplexity’s head of publisher partnerships7. This suggests a level of familiarity and expertise in building partnerships.

Verification with LinkedIn

To verify this partnership with LinkedIn, you can look for official announcements or press releases from either company. However, as of now, there is no direct link or statement from LinkedIn confirming this specific aspect of the partnership. You might need to contact LinkedIn’s support or check their official blog for updates.

Additional Context

Perplexity and LinkedIn Collaboration: Perplexity and LinkedIn have been working together in various capacities, including offering Perplexity Pro to LinkedIn Premium users4. This suggests a broader collaboration aimed at enhancing user experiences across both platforms.
Data Sharing: The integration involves sharing verification data, which could raise privacy concerns. Users should be aware of how their data is used and shared between platforms.

In summary, while the partnership aims to enhance trust and authenticity, users should be mindful of data privacy implications and seek official confirmation from both companies for specific details.

The Full download is now within 24 hours (as opposed the past which was within 48 hours).

This morning I tested it and got my Basic Download within 5 Minutes that includes all files in the first column of the attachment below and my 2nd download was available within 19 hours. That seems much more efficient for both sides of the equation.

Confirmed, Shares, which has been haphazardly missing in downloads for a few months now, are included in the 2nd download of the Full request (as defined in the Help page, updated 4 days ago).

With the speed of this download, I’m surprised [in] is even allowing a ‘Select the data files you’re most interested in: Articles, Imported Contacts, Invitations, Profile, Recommendations & Registration’.

▲ [Top Voice], AKA the Blue [in] Badge, once an Annually Awarded status, is now Bi-Annually assessed every 6 months.

Once a member is invited to the Top Voices program, they will remain a Top Voice for at least six months, and are eligible for badge renewal as long as they continue to meet the core program requirements. LinkedIn may add and remove members outside of the typical admission periods at its discretion, and will remove Top Voice status from any member who does not consistently meet LinkedIn’s Professional Community Policies.

LinkedIn Top Voices are a select group of global experts, leaders, change-makers, public figures and innovators on LinkedIn. The program is designed to recognize members who consistently demonstrate expertise and leadership in their respective fields in ways that educate, inspire and inform the larger community. Active members of the Top Voices program receive a blue badge on their profile identifying them as an expert on the platform.
