Go Richard!!
Hello,
I tried to start a thread on this topic earlier, but it was closed. All the other threads on this topic seem to be closed too. So, I can't post this anywhere else.
Basically, I have a question about what Richard Stallman said here : http://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/ubuntu-spyware-what-to-do .

Just posting what i found :)
How's the Ubunturero here?

I believe it is in Canonical's interests to understand what it's users want and/or find distasteful.
The post was promptly shut down.
I find this
Free software leader Richard Stallman claims Ubuntu amounts to spyware with Amazon search integrated into the “dash” of its Unity interface. He is calling for developers to shun the open-source operating system.
Canonical is the company behind Ubuntu. Stallman says the advertising search results amount to surveillance and argues that personal data is on Canonical’s servers.
