Z:gnu-www-ja-common-distros--993fa9-As of October 2012, Ubuntu =3Ca/en

As of October 2012, Ubuntu  sends personal data about users' searches to a server belonging to Canonical, which sends back ads to buy things from Amazon. This does not, strictly speaking, affect whether Ubuntu is free software, but it is a violation of users' privacy. It also encourages buying from Amazon, a company associated with DRM as well as mistreatment of workers, authors and publishers.
