What
If a wpcom site is marked as "Coming Soon", it should output no OpenGraph tags that social media sites can use to generate thumbnails, descriptions, and other previews of the site.
Judging by #56779 (comment), I presume the current behavior is expected, and that a site should instead be set to "Private" to remove this metadata. Hence I'm submitting this as an enhancement and not a bug.
Why

wordpress-seo
