What level of access do engineers at Linkedin have to user data?
I was curious internally, what’re the policies for looking at user data? eg can engineers see who searched them on LinkedIn? Can they read messages? How is the policy enforced? I know google/fb have very strong no tolerance policies. Wanted to know how it is different at different companies.

“fb has strong no tolerance policy” ok that’s funny
Going by OP's username, pretty sure this post is a homework to answer one of the several investigations into FB's privacy practices... OP Manager was like "I mean how do others even do it" And OP like "I'll check and get back to you on that one" And here we are....
FB and user privacy shouldn’t even be in the same sentence or even paragraph
I am really curious what the definition of a strong no tolerance policy means at fb.
It means you cannot access customer data without authorization and access is logged.
It means exactly that. FB does not tolerate user privacy. Your privacy belongs to FB
So in addition to poking at FB user privacy, now FB wants to harvest LinkedIn data too?
In eBay, we cannot look up our own data. We can be fired for it.
We have two data warehouses, one anonymized for metrics, the other one with real customer data (on the b2b side) that requires authorization to access. Everything is logged. On the consumer side I'm not too sure but I assume it's about the same, we're operating like we were an European business so gdpr is enforced across-the-board
Same in consumer, you need to get manual human review by security team to access any non-anonymized data.
