[Bug 1867424] Re: motd-news transmitting private hardware data without consent or knowledge in background

2020-06-29 Thread Zachary Fouts
I too, would like to see this fixed. I initially reported something very
similar in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-
files/+bug/1701068 back in 2017.

This is unacceptable, especially for EU users. It needs to be an option
top opt-in at install time. By default I believe this should be opted
out.

Re: UserAgent
My UserAgent in Chrome|FireFox|Curl|wget|etc do not tell the remote server what 
the uptime of my host is.


Re: Fun Facts 
Fun facts are indeed fun, but this feature should be reserved for important 
information regarding EOL, Security Patches, etc. 
If the administrator of ${system} wants a fun fact, they can install something 
else. Cow Say, Fortune, whatever to display that.


Not trying to stir anything up, it's a great feature but that feature should be 
used wisely so people do not disable it.
