Public bug reported:
Impact
======
Ubuntu does not install any apps by default that would use Facebook account in
GOA.
The supported apps are GNOME Photos and GNOME Maps.
Therefore, we shouldn't offer Facebook in the Online Accounts page of
the Welcome to Ubuntu wizard.
The Online Accounts page isn't used in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS but it is used
in Ubuntu 18.10
Test Case
=========
Install Ubuntu. After restarting your computer, the Welcome to Ubuntu wizard
should launch. On the Online Accounts page, there should be Ubuntu Single
Sign-On, Google, Nextcloud, and Microsoft. Facebook should not be present.
Regression Potential
====================
None.
Users can still sign in to Facebook from the Online Accounts page in the
Settings app.
GNOME doesn't show all the account types by default in gnome-initial-
setup.
Other Info
==========
The Welcome to Ubuntu wizard generally would only show up on first login
(because the user should complete the wizard or close the wizard).
Many Ubuntu desktop installs only have one user.
Therefore, this won't be very beneficial as an SRU; it should be fixed
before release.
This issue was split off from LP: #1762192
