Bug Description

I along with many users think the shopping lens should be an opt-in feature, not an opt-out. And if it remains as an opt-out feature then I think there should be a disclaimer during installation telling the user what it does and how it does what it does. I don't necessarily distrust Canonical with my IP logs but there's a lot of users that do and feel betrayed to the point of labeling the shopping lens as "spyware". Please fix this issue by making it an opt-in feature instead of an opt-out.
