Pode até não visitar, mas visita. E visitando, não pode escapar da vigilância já que a configuração é inacessível. Quanto ao SO, você pode há maneiras de desabilitar o recurso, vida configurações de privacidade. E o tal do site fix ubuntu ofereceu uma técnica pra ir ainda mais fundo.
Quanto à tal polêmica, bem a princípio é lamentável mesmo. Mas a minha experiência anterior com casos similares anteriores é ter um pouco de cautela com acusações incendiárias porque não conhecemos a história anterior antes do capítulo anterior e cada um conta a parte da história que melhor atende suas intenções. Mas que fique claro que não estou justificando ou algo assim. Apenas sou prudente porque já vi trocentos casos de acusações incendiárias que se mostraram maliciosas. A imprensa nacional ta cheia desses casos. __________________________________ Fábio Lima ([email protected]) Em 09/11/2013 01:38, "gustavo" <[email protected]> escreveu: > >Ou muda para off o item de configuração ou muda-se > de distribuição. > A Canonical fez uma decisão que afeta a privacidade de milhões de usuários. > Se o usuário quisesse, ele instalaria.
