Ubuntu "Online smart scopes" are identified as a privacy concern in this
UK Government Security Guidance report (currently advertised on
ubuntu.com front page!):

The problem isn't solved. I understood it like this:
Unity 8 will drop the Home Scope and therefore include a Scopes Scope. When
pressing the meta key and typing something into the Dash in Unity 8 the input
will be >>send<< to Canonical and then the Canonical server will return a list

@bkerensa: well, right now we just have the OMG Ubuntu article and some
explanations from Michael Hall on Google+. I would wait to see what
explanations/details the devs from Unity team can provide here. AFAIC,
to be considered fixed, all the correctives proposed by EFF should be
implemented and
@mlaverdiere: I agree this announcement addresses any privacy concerns
users should have do we have a likely milestone to attach it to and is
it worth marking Fix Committed?
