Public bug reported:

I tried out the new Ubuntu mode of gnome-initial setup. I went through
the steps, and picked "No, don't send any info". Then on the last page
the application froze for several seconds (a separate bug), and I saw
this message in the console.

** (gnome-initial-setup:30381): WARNING **: 12:52:10.585: Failed to send
decline: data were not delivered successfully to metrics server:
couldn't send post http request: Post
https://metrics.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktop/18.04: dial tcp
92.242.132.16:443: i/o timeout

We tried to send to a remote server even though I picked an option that
I intended to not report to you.

I think either we should not send this 'decline' message (this is my
preferred option), or we should make it reasonably clear that picking
"No" is going to ping home.
