Comment 109 for bug 402767

What ever happened to the users? (Where's TRON when we need him?) Anything that sends information OUT of my computer that I have not pre-authorized is in violation of many privacy policies, regardless of the aggregate. Yes, I am aware of much that goes out (IP address for one), most necessary, some optional, but to include something as this as a default that is functionally UNNECESSARY is both inappropriate and an affront to the intelligence of the FOSS community.

Let this be a wake-up call not to "assume" that everyone in the FOSS community is benevolent and good; or at least follow both Code of Conducts and common sense.

I vote to remove it, and also to require full disclosure on any FURTHER outgoing data collected or sent from computers using Ubuntu and Ubuntu-authorized programs
