Once again hyperbole. Canonical has no interest in spying on you. The
dash is a search dialogue that allows you to search online as well as
locally (if you want). In order to search online the contents of that
dialogue mush be sent to some sort of search engine. Canonical has not
installed a key logger any more than you Google search dialogue in your
browser is a key logger.
Yes, I admit advertising supported product or services blur the line
between user and product. The line is blurred by any thing that is
partially supported by advertising revenue including the Society de
Transport de Montreal as it sells adds in buses and metro stations. Even
some movies are partially supported by advertising via product
placement. Most people are conscious of this fact you are product to all
most media including news organizations and websites that support
themselves by selling your eyes to advertisers but do not equate this
to evil.
It is not the choice people are making that disturbs me it is your right
to use any OS you want. It is the venom and hyperbole surrounding this
issue I find frustrating.
my second 2 cents

This is a very valid discussion. Think about the future and the
repercussions. Think about being a product instead of a user.
Did you read the legal notice (if you didn't then just by typing in
dash you accepted the terms)? Nothing bothers you about that?
Storing/sending your keystrokes? You understand this is a keylogger
sending this info to both Canonical and their "select third parties"?
Still no problem with it? Great if you don't have a problem, but
understand this is a bit of an issue for some users, and it is going
to be discussed.
