[Bug 1073114] Re: Shopping Lens Does Not Respect User Privacy
On the basis of EFF recommandations, here the what's need to be done to solve this bug, considering the stagnation/progress/regession observed since Ubuntu 12.10: - Disable Include online search results by default - Nothing has been done. To do. - Explain in detail what Canonical does with search queries and IP addresses, how long it stores them, and in what circumstances it gives them to third parties - Regression since 13.10, as the untranslated legal notice is more difficut to find. It has been relegated to an obscure Diagnostics tab, in the Security and Privacy panel, in the System settings, instead of being available at the bottof right corner of the Dash. So, at leat, it needs to be translated. Also, if it has to remain in theSecurity and Privacy panel, it should be in a more properly designated tab. Also, if the online search remains activated by default, there should be some sort of proheminent popup that would ask for user attention, upon first login or first access to the Dash, refering him/her to the legal notice and asking him what he/she wants to do with online search (and related scopes). - Make the Search Results tab of the Privacy settings let users toggle on and off specific online search results, as some users might want Amazon products in their search results, but never anything from Facebook. - Some progress has been made with 13.10, as now, in adition to be able to disable onlne search, within the Security and Privacy panel, users can also deactiate some particular scopes (or sources?), by right cliking on them, in the Dash, and then clicking for deactivation. Now the process is tedious if, as an example, a user only wants 1 or 2 scopes to be activated. One solution could be to include these options in the Security and Privacy panel (which would be more coherent, if done in a proper way) with a complete list of the sources, and with some easy and quick way to turn some of them on or off. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1073114 Title: Shopping Lens Does Not Respect User Privacy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libunity/+bug/1073114/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The bug is unassigned since no one whats to have the responsibility I assume. Honestly I came to Xubuntu and Canonical (to a certain extend) years ago since I was fed up with M$ and their broken system. At present however I'm in the middle of a migration to FreeBSD -- also because of bugs like this one. By the way I agree with the last commenter, Jeroen Hoek. I don't have the time to read every newsletter or announcement but at least some of them. I never received an explanation either and probably never will.

From reading the comments in this bug report I get the impression that there is a general sense of agreement about how enabling on-line search results through the Dash lenses by default violates the user's reasonable expectancy of privacy, but I don't see any response from the package maintainer (or rather, Canonical) explaining why this feature is still enabled by default in Ubuntu 13.04, and when and how this high priority bug will be fixed.

[Bug 1073114] Re: Shopping Lens Does Not Respect User Privacy
I personally don't have a particular issue with Canonical trying to moneytize Ubuntu with some ads. However, anything touching the user privacy, be it direct or remote, should be EXPLICITLY presented to the user. This should be done early enough so that the user can act upon, either by turning the option off (could be a pre-install or post- install, or a detailed howto, whatever...) or deciding not to install the OS. A step has been done in the right direction by adding the privacy setting in the control center. But I still needed to see it mentioned on a blog to realize this option actually existed in 12.10. I cannot see why this could not be at least shown in the install slideshow, something like: - Look Ubuntu integrates online search directly to the Dash and all the inovative and awesomness marketing blabla, - Don't like it ? Have a look at your privacy settings, this can be turned off. On a more general note, I gave Canonical the benefit of the doubt of rushing some features for the release of Ubuntu 12.10. However, for 13.04, I expect both the implementation and communication around this feature to be mature and crystal clear. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1073114 Title: Shopping Lens Does Not Respect User Privacy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libunity/+bug/1073114/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks to Mike Davis for the summary. I'd just like to add that I really hope to see this issue fixed in 13.04. As a formerly very active member of the Ubuntu LoCo and present free software activist, I really don't feel I can recommend Ubuntu 12.10 to anyone as long as this bug stands. It's a betrayal of the values that formerly led me to support Ubuntu and struggle to get the word out to people, and after 12.04 (which is an excellent system BTW) I may well have to start recommending that people use Trisquel or Debian instead of Ubuntu. As a user, my strong feeling is that if my computer is to search for anything online it's because *I* ask it to, explicitly. If Amazon search is opt-out not opt-in, a very basic trust is betrayed. While a genuine privacy concern is standing, also note that the Ubuntu brand IS being tarnished. A lot of valuable community members and users are having second thoughts because of it. I think that's not in the interest of either Canonical, Ubuntu or anyone else in the free software community.

Here is Jono Bacon (Ubuntu Community Manager) comment about the FSF (RMS) statement: http://www.jonobacon.org/2012/12/07/on-richard- stallman-and-ubuntu/ I know this a bug report is not the place to discuss/argue, but I just want to present what is I think the rationale behind the issue at stake with the current bug report (which also explains I think why there is a massive rejection of the way the Amazon search feature has been implemented and why the few reasons given up to now by Canonical and relatives - like Jono - are not calming things). Here's what I wrote as a comment on Jono's blog: Privacy is not just a deeply personal thing. In law, there is what we* call common and basic reasonable expectations in relation to privacy, that may exist in a variety of situations, including when using an operating system. I really doubt that having search data sent to a third party without the user's express authorization could be considered a reasonable expectation, in the particular context where the search is performed within what is primarily known or viewed by a vast majority of users as a local application/file launcher/searcher (i.e Unity's Dash). I understand that the goal of the dash in Ubuntu has always been to provide a central place in which you can search and find things that are interesting and relevant to you. But if Ubuntu/Canonical want to outgrow the usual local application/file launcher/searcher paradigm, it has to be really clear about it with users (I doubt that the untranslated legal notice at the bottom left of the Dash is sufficient) and request all necessary users express authorizations. Without specific authorization, these external (online) search features should be off. And the explanation related to the iterativenature of the Ubuntu development is not really convincing me. If , really, privacy is critically important to Ubuntu/Canonical and is put forward as a high priority, then privacy should be considered at the root of any project development. It shouldn't be an afterthought, leading to incomplete solutions implemented late in the development cycle. Ubuntu 12.10 is not an alpha or beta version of Ubuntu. It is an official released to my understanding. Finally, it seems to me that it would be so much more productive for Canonical to just say what they intend to do to fix the problem, either with 12.10 or, at least, with Raring (13.04). Obviously, implementing EFF recommendations is probably the right thing to do here. *I'm a lawyer, although not specialized in privacy law, but with a bit of knowledge about these issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1073114 Title: Shopping Lens Does Not Respect User Privacy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libunity/+bug/1073114/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@unimatrix9 If I understand what you said, in the installation process you have information and choice about online results(...) I think this is not a way to resolve fully this bug: Only the user admin will be notified about his own privacy; indeed data belong to every single users of the system.

@Benjamin: Bonjour! - I don't mind the headline change (and being polite!), but I do think that, in some ways, Ubuntu/Canonical may be *required* to introduce some changes (those recommended by EFF and maybe others) regarding the shopping lens (and probably other online search lenses) it they really want, as they claim, to respect users privacy... and even maybe some regional/national laws.

I think it affects all lens having remote results. Privacy (user information/choice: ergonomy) and Data (user data security in/out: technical) should be resolved from the container of these lense.

i see different people working on solutions and idea's on launchpad on this topic , for example the legal notice, not sure where to comment on the issue, but, could it be an idea that in the installation proces, at the same spot that is ticked for install third-party software , you get the option to install the online search lenses , or to not install it, with the legal notice there.

Please Kees, you konw as previously working for canonical that the policy is not to assign to a team before legal and design saw the issues and gave their advice. This is counter-productive.
