From noplace's FAQs: *
Emphasis mine. Now their privacy policy: *
So, it looks like they're starting off with lies right at the top, like every other tech startup.
EDIT: To also address the "we don't share your number or anything else about you with third parties" part, the privacy policy also outlines exactly how they will share your data with third parties:
Go fuck yourselves, noplace.
EDIT: Another issue I just found with their FAQs:
I thought it was weird that crypto would be a frequently-asked question for what appears to otherwise be a pretty generic-looking social network. Then I found that noplace's parent company, Islands XYZ, was originally launched to be an NFT platform of some sort, financially backed by our old friend Alexis Ohanian.

So they're totally not a crypto thing. Definitely not crypto. 100% something other than crypto.
Guys, I swear they're not a crypto thing.
Gen Zs do. not. give. a. fuck.
Yeah, I thought about that halfway through looking through their ToS. I wish I was smart enough to figure out how to package this into a message Gen Z can actually understand and care about.
