Bug#1076662: gnome-initial-setup: Mozilla Location Service is EOL and archived

[Roland Clobus]

Package: gnome-initial-setup
Version: 46.3-1
Severity: normal

Hello maintainers of gnome-initial-setup,

On the tab page 'Privacy' the Location Services are turned on per default. The hyperlink to the privacy policy points to a dead/empty link (https://location.services.mozilla.com/privacy), because Mozilla retired its public service per July 2024 [1].

But then I wonder what location service is actually used.

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
