@keremhd: While I fully agree with your opinion about the privacy
implications of the shopping lens towards Canonical and what data is
being passed around to them, this is not what this bug is about.
This bug is about the fact that Shuttleworth's statement, "We are not
telling Amazon what you are searching for. Your anonymity is preserved"
is simply not true in the current shopping lens implementation.
What you describe ("data leaking to Canonical") is a conscious design
decision made by Canonical. Shuttleworth acknowledges it as being the
way it works ("we handle the query on your behalf", which is true).
tl;dr: what you are referring to is Canonical's intentional data
gathering; what this bug is referring to is Amazon's unintentional data
gathering. These are two separate issues.
