Ubuntu Wants to Collect Data About Your System
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/02/ubuntu-data-collection-opt-out
"Canonical chose today, the international day of romance and overpriced heart-shaped key-rings, to tell the Ubuntu community of its plans to include a data collection tool in the Ubuntu 18.04 installer."

Ubuntu will let upgraders ‘opt-in’ to data collection in 18.04
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/02/ubuntu-data-collection-in-18-04-upgrades
"if you upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS from an existing release no system data will be collected, compiled, or combed on behalf of Canonical."
