About these numbers · MAU figures are LinkedIn's monthly average logged-in active users in the EU for 1 July–31 December 2025, from LinkedIn's DSA Transparency Report. LinkedIn reports logged-in active users and (separately) logged-out site visits, rounds figures to the nearest 100,000, and notes member-state totals may not sum to the EU total and are not fully de-duplicated — so the numbers are indicative and not directly comparable across periods.

This data exists only because of the DSA

Every figure on this page comes from disclosures the EU forces very large platforms to publish. No other jurisdiction mandates them, which is why numbers like these simply don’t exist for the US or anywhere else.

  • Art. 24(2)Monthly active users, published twice a year
  • Art. 15 + 42Content-moderation transparency reports
  • Art. 39Public, searchable ad repositories
