1) This is ideological content and it's not being used to disseminate technical or factual knowledge that is useful to the user.
I would be less inclined to be critical if the non-relevant information delivered was content that helped to amplify the work of a world-renowned charity (say, MSF for example) butthe relevant news I've seen are just part of a certain Silicon Valley-dominated ideology, and as such it presents the potential of being inadvertently used as a propaganda vehicle to advance particular interests of a specific group of people.
2) It doean't seem that enough precautions have been taken to avoid makibg motd a central point of failure. It doesn't seem to take into accoubt that there's a potebtial for privacy and exploit problems generated for desktop users, without offeribg a straightforward opportunity to opt out. It's a practice that should at a minimum be part of an optional and customisable policy kit in enterprise environments.
3) For technical reasons and other reasons explained above, I respectfuly suggest that this practice should be completely reconsidered in further detail or discontinued altogether.
