Is it true that Canonical shares some user's information with Amazon without asking for permission to Ubuntu's user?

I heard Richard Stallman saying it... He says Ubuntu violates the privacy of the user by giving information to Amazon without permission.

From here: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2257118/richard-stallman-says-ubuntu-linux-is-spyware , I see: "Although Ubuntu users can opt out and Canonical claims it anonymises users' search information before sending it to Amazon". So from this, yes, it does this by default, but it's apparently opt-out-able. – MiJyn Jun 29 '13 at 04:02
This does not belong in AskUbuntu. It should be posted in meta. – Dillmo Jun 29 '13 at 22:09
Oh, it's very valid to me... – K7AAY Dec 13 '13 at 22:32
