6. According to journalist Chris Ingraham, the letter supposedly from Flock is a fake marketing bit by Saturday Salon.

FYI: this is a fake viral marketing bit by this "Saturday Salon" group. Flock's Chief Strategy Officer says they never sent it; the branding is off and the purported author's title is wrong, among many other things.

The same group also posted a much more obviously fake cease and desist from Palantir a few months ago
