Bug Description

We do not want to expose users of Edubuntu to any inappropriate content.
Additionally, we would like to avoid shopping suggestions in Edubuntu as it goes against the goals of keeping Edubuntu free.
The software also has some serious security problems, like sending potentially private user data in cleartext over the network that makes it unfit for use in Edubuntu.

The security issues are being taken care of now, but the lack of suggestions filtering is indeed a problem.
It's worth noting that our current way of removing packages like the shopping lens won't prevent the package from getting installed during upgrades. We will need to redesign the way we're dealing with these in 13.04.
Edubuntu doesn't have any screenshots of that feature and most users probably didn't even notice it yet.
+1 on the exception.
