Meh, allegedly, as far as I remember they weren’t actually spying but accusation persists.

They included default telemetry around 18.04, u could and can opt out but it was a kick in the balls.

Even then its nowhere near Microsoft, Apple and Google.

I think the main complaints came from running Amazon searches when you searched in Unity’s dash

Searching for something locally could unintentionally send searches to the internet

They’re removed now that Unity is gone, though
