Package: tiled Version: 1.4.3-1 Severity: normal Forwarded: https://github.com/mapeditor/tiled/issues/2939 X-Debbugs-Cc: onit...@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer, When starting Tiled for the first time on a new system, the two options "Display news in status bar" and "Highlight new version in status bar" are enabled by default. When turned on, these two options cause Tiled to contact online services to obtain the respective information. However: User aren't informed about the fact, and neither are they on what personal information is shared and with whom. This may a potential violation of GDPR, CCPA or other data protection laws. It doesn't look like there is an official policy for dealing with privacy issues in Debian packages, but I've seen complaints in other packages that had to be addressed. Additionally, the update check is not that useful when applications are installed via package manager and not manually downloaded. Please consider disabling the two checks by default for Debian packaging. I also forwarded the issue to the upstream but tracker: https://github.com/mapeditor/tiled/issues/2939 Thanks! -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (300, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_USER Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages tiled depends on: ii libc6 2.31-4 ii libgcc-s1 10.2.0-16 ii libqt5core5a 5.15.1+dfsg-2 ii libqt5gui5 5.15.1+dfsg-2 ii libqt5network5 5.15.1+dfsg-2 ii libqt5qml5 5.15.1+dfsg-3 ii libqt5widgets5 5.15.1+dfsg-2 ii libstdc++6 10.2.0-16 ii libtiled1 1.4.2-1 tiled recommends no packages. tiled suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
