I managed to disable it, but now a question lingers in me because of this:
Does this mean the key strokes are not sent to third parties, BUT ARE sent to Ubuntu?
This is very very murky.
But oh my god, who makes an OS with a built in keylogger that sends all key strokes to another party? I AM SAFE ON UBUNTU?
Only the keywords that are typed in the Unity Dash are recorded and sent to Amazon/Canonical to tailor the amazon shopping results to your computer. Other information (i.e. what you type in a word document) are not sent.
Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.
