&gt; a stealth-stage startup that wants to enable internet users to “regain control” of their personal data, has landed a $4 million seed funding round... Other investors that participated include Lemnos Labs, Liquid 2 Ventures, CrunchFund*,...<p>So Arrington is promoting one of his investments on one of his sites. The investment claims to &quot;give consumers control of their data,&quot; but the site gives that data to at least 9 companies: AOL, Facebook, Gravatar, Parsely, Taboola, Tinypass, Twitter, Vidible, and Wordpress.

There is no news here about the product or service that they&#x27;re working on. We only have a name and HD Moore&#x27;s involvement at an advisory level.<p>This is not interesting.

&quot;The company doesn’t have a product right now and is cagey about what it will eventually release&quot;<p>Incredible pitching!

How timely was this PR considering what happened with CF today[0]. I&#x27;m sincerely impressed!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=13718752" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=13718752</a>
