> 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 "give consumers control of their data," 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're working on. We only have a name and HD Moore's involvement at an advisory level.<p>This is not interesting.
