Amazon lens rikkoo Eu-lakia

In the week prior to the stable release of Ubuntu 12.10 data privacy advocate Luís de Sousa indicated that the inclusion of the shopping lens, installed without explicit permission of the user, violates European Directive 95/46/EC on data privacy. That directive requires that the "data subject has unambiguously given his consent" in situations where personal identifying information is sent.

Ubuntun kaupallinen Amazon lens rikkoo EU-direktiiviä koskien yksityisyyttä, eli suomalaisittain yksityisyydensuojaa. Näin ollen Amazon lens on EU-alueella ladattavissa Ubuntu-jakeluissa laiton. Toivottavasti Canonical huomioi seikan ja poistaa Amazon-haun hudista ainakin EU-alueella. Meillä laki suojelee kansalaisten yksityisyyttä sekä kansalaisia yleensäkin hyökkäävää kaupallisuutta vastaan.

Myös Electronic Frontier foundation on ottanut tiukasti kielteisen kannan Ubuntun kaupalliseen puoleen:

In early November the Electronic Frontier Foundation made a statement on the shopping lens issue, "Technically, when you search for something in Dash, your computer makes a secure HTTPS connection to productsearch.ubuntu.com, sending along your search query and your IP address. If it returns Amazon products to display, your computer then insecurely loads the product images from Amazon's server over HTTP. This means that a passive eavesdropper, such as someone sharing a wireless network with you, will be able to get a good idea of what you're searching for on your own computer based on Amazon product images. It's a major privacy problem if you can't find things on your own computer without broadcasting what you're looking for to the world."
