Description
Expected behavior
I would expect a post with restricted content using a plugin like the Patreon Wordpress plugin will not display the full content in the app's Reader.
Actual behavior
Reported in 4652243-zd-woothemes, the app displays the full content of a post with restricted content in the Reader. However, this doesn't happen on WPiOS.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Open the app and go to Reader
- Search for the site address mentioned in the ticket
- Notice that the content of the post titled "Nemo Malus Felix" can be viewed in the app
- View the post on the browser but was prompted with a notice to unlock the content with Patreon

Compare the Android behavior with WPiOS and verify that restricted Patreon content is not shown in full in Reader; the issue names no files or tests to run.
