Hello,
This is a request to blacklist, or somehow disable the package zeitgeist
and related packages in the your-privacy-blacklist.
It basically keeps a log of all of the users actions in the form of an
sqllite3 database.
Deleting the package can cause problems for gnome-desktop users though,
I'm not sure if it's enough to delete the database, touch the file and
set it as read-only? This may be preferable as some other packages also
rely on zeitgeist and related packages.
... I am testing on a Trisquel machine to see what happens. It is worth
noting that this affects all gnome desktops, and ubuntu and it's
derivatives. It is not known to me whether it also affects Debian and
it's derivatives using the 'default' settings. Either way, installing
anything that uses the zeitgeist libraries will probably mean you are
being logged.
So freak out,
Josh
