privacy-breach-google-adsense

[Charlie_Smotherman]

I just noticed a very serious problem with the file

/openteacher/modules/org/openteacher/websiteGenerator/templates/base.html

lintian is reporting:

"This package creates a privacy breach by using Google AdSense. Google AdSense is a service run by Google that allows publishers of websites to automatically serve advertisements. Unfortunately, it requires tracking and breaching the privacy of web users.

This tag can also indicate the use of the related obsolete privacy breaching software, Urchin WebAnalytics.

Note that using Google AdSense in a local copy of a page is a violation of the Google AdSense terms of use. This violation renders this package not distributable in Debian, and is thus a serious bug."

this applies to ubuntu as well. This is considered an RC (release critical) bug and is grounds to have the package removed from the archives.

Anything we can do to fix this :)

Reporter will remove this code (Analytics, Google+) when building for Debian. We might want to discuss if we want to remove all external scripts as well, and manually add them when uploading the website.
