Thanks for that helpful feedback, we really appreciate the nice note. To put your mind at ease a bit, Flipboard does not sell user data to anyone. That said, anonymized user data (that cannot be tracked to an individual user) is used by Google for ads on platforms like ours. We do not have any ads or user information associated with Flipboard's fediverse presence and, as we open our platform, we will be taking a fresh look at all of this, prioritizing user privacy and transparency. I'll share your thoughts with the team!
