# Ubuntu 12.10 Privacy: Amazon Ads and Data Leaks
|
|
|
|
The EFF [cautions that Ubuntu 12.10 leaks user information to Amazon by
|
|
default][0] rather than requiring the user to opt *into* the system.
|
|
|
|
Of course, I cannot recommend that you use Ubuntu, as it encourages the
|
|
installation of non-free device drivers, readily enables non-free software
|
|
repositories and contains non-free components in its kernel.[1] Instead,
|
|
consider a [fully free GNU/Linux distribution like Trisquel][2].
