First things first, I've updated my LI account with a new e-mail and 2FA and now my account is "Temporarily restricted". LinkedIn require me to send them either my ID card (no way) or my legal information certified by a lawyer in my country (no way). The ID seems to be "verified" (they are nothing to compare against) by Persona, a third-party that is located in US.

I kindly asked by mail to delete my account (as outlined in Article 17 of the GDPR) using a webcall or a short video with me talkie-talking about how I would like to recover my account. "Kindly asked" whether they prefer me to bring the matter to the court (Article 77 of the GDPR). Gonna see what they reply.

Anybody who went through this? Any success? Any arguments that seemed to work on the support?

LinkedIn was doing this to me, too. But then I randomly was able to log on again. I wasn't able to for months and thought it was ridiculous that they were asking for my ID.

You can try logging in on an IP address you previously logged in on. Then, delete your account ofc.
