Violations can lead to content being limited, labeled or removed, and repeated or egregious ones to account restriction
Breaking these policies can lead to action against your content or your account. Depending on how severe the violation is, LinkedIn may limit the visibility of certain content, label it, or remove it entirely. Repeated or egregious offenses can result in account restriction. These are discretionary outcomes ("may", "can") tied to severity and repetition, not fixed penalties.
