FYI Canonical's legal departement is reviewing motd-news "feature" (such as telemetry) and will provide updated information next week.

I checked nextcloud- core18-pi.img (and core18_1753.snap), motd-news is still present but turned off by default -- Good! ENABLED=0 in the file /etc/default/motd- news. I hope Canonical will apply "Secure by design" motto to the rest of Ubuntu products https://ubuntu.com/appliance -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867424 Title: motd-news transmitting private hardware data without consent or knowledge in background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+bug/1867424/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
