Is data portability being treated by any government group? The last time I tried LinkedIn denied my access to their API, it seems it is "arbitrarily open".

I don't know, but that has nothing to do with the FCC. The FCC does not have the authority to regulate what online companies do. Data portability is something Congress has yet to pass laws on. If Congress passes such a law, then it would probably place the responsibility of enforcing data portability onto the FTC.
