Public bug reported:
I read about the Privacy manager in this blog post here
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/03/ubuntu-1204-will-bring-os-level-
privacy-options. And the points that they state are valid.
Like for instance, if you blacklist firefox, it stops Unity from
detecting whether the user has run firefox or not and perhaps does not
show it in the recently used apps. But this does not stop firefox from
logging the web history of the user. The privacy manager should atleast
display a message saying that "Privacy manager does not stop the
application itself from logging data" but just Unity or Zeitgeist since
otherwise the user will be confused. Or, you should provide options for
the privacy manager to disable the logging of the application itself i.e
stop firefox from logging web history.
