Ahhh. I see. So it was some what alarmist. I shall update my comment.

Cancelled my sub when I found that out. Switched to busuu, comparing the two, busuu and Duolingo seem to have different teachings and I noticed that my ability to understand things (comments) in duo is slowly becoming paywalled on the pro(paid) version… Wtf??! Quality of lessons is also seemingly going down.

Then I heard they are handing user data to ICE (maybe this is a rumor) but it just pushed me away even quicker.

I don’t have proof of this so I take this back but am leaving the text so as to give context to the comments below.

Why not? Seems fitting an ex NASA engineer show Elon, the man currently trying to dismantle NASA, just what kind of intelligent people exist in that agency.
