As you are VC funded, is your goal to go public or to sell? What is your policy and thought towards your user's data if you are purchased?

ETA: Or if others replace you as the heads of the company? Is there something codified to ensure privacy?

Absolutely. This is one of the best answers I've ever seen from someone in a political position. Admitting you do not know and opening up a conversation about a subject is not weakness, it is the roots of a strong society.

As someone who uses nicotine (vaping) as a way to help with mental health (See these articles for pros and cons), I cannot accept this explanation. Smoking has been proven to be bad. Nicotine can be useful in some situations. Conflating the two is not acceptable. Please give this issue much more thought and research before creating legislation.

This was my take as well. It very much rewards polarizing behavior. The comments are only a reflection of this, not the problem. It is not an easy problem to solve but this does not appear to be the solution.

Thank you. Your answer shows that you are building a company that you want to build, which is very rare in my experience. I asked my question from a place of cynicism having seen and worked for too many companies whose main goal for existing was to be bought by a Google or Amazon, or have a big enough IPO to cash out. It is great to see important problems being addressed by people who actually care enough to see it through.

I work in identity, so I have seen what happens with mergers and acquisitions of customer data. If you want to really drive that home for people like me, put it in your EULA that you will erase my data in certain circumstances and tell me what they are.

I hope your company the best and will definitely give you a go, and let you know with my dollars if I think it is valuable. Thanks again.
