Meta Tags Partially Discloses Content on Paid Newsletters

[bobmatyas]

Impacted plugin

Jetpack

Quick summary

When using the paid newsletter feature, a portion of the content and an image (if available) will be used to generate meta tags for the post. This leads to a portion of the content being revealed.

Steps to reproduce

1. Add a post for paid subscribers only
2. View the post as a non-paid subscriber and view the page source
3. Some content from the post will be auto-used to populate the meta tags in the head

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

I expect we wouldn't use the paid content and image (if added) by default and instead indicate that the post is for paid users.

What actually happened

Impact
