Mark Shuttleworth Addresses Ubuntu Privacy Issues
sfcrazy writes "Mark Shuttleworth has for the first time talked about the privacy issues in Ubuntu Dash after being criticized by EFF and FSF. He mentioned some changes in the way use can 'disable' the search results. However the company has showed that under no circumstances they will disable the online search by default as demanded by EFF and FSF. Shuttleworth was simply spinning the wheel moving things around to give an impression that something has been done where as the core problem remains — Dash sends keystrokes by default and legally every user agrees to send such keystrokes to PRODUCT.canonical.com server to be shared with partners like Facebook."
I would expect a better effort to write a summary.
It is evident that the submitter is full of hate.
Sucks to live in a country with third-world healthcare then, doesn't it? I don't really want to hear about their problems.
Nice work Mark, you have convinced me to move to some other distro. I will not install any keylogger in my computers willingly. Bye bye, it has been nice few years (since 2009) and now i move on. I understand corporations need to gain income, but selling out your users is wrong way to do it. Forceing your users to install mandatory keylogger is even more wrong. So you can count my 6 computers out of your installation base please.
Yet, Wozniak said the iPhone is behind on features.
Maybe he's f--ked up?
