LinkedIn is actively cutting off access to vendors scraping user data. Apollo, Seamless, LGM, and Evaboot were all named.
Not rumors. Not speculation. Formal enforcement.
For companies that depend on those vendors, it’s a real risk—from data gaps to compliance exposure.
And for go-to-market teams built on that data, the downstream impact is already starting to show.
We’ve been tracking this closely.
The smarter move isn’t to fight platform policies. It’s to adapt how discovery and targeting happen.
That means building on signals, not just static profile data.
Designing systems that continue to work even if one source goes dark.
And putting guardrails in place to prevent AI and automation abuse before it damages sender reputation or triggers enforcement.
This isn’t hypothetical anymore.
It’s already happening.
