[Bug 1054282] Re: No obvious way to restrict shopping suggestions from displaying adult products

2012-10-05 Thread Robb Shecter
I'm another type of user for whom this is completely unacceptable: I'm
an independent contractor - a consultant - I do software development for
people.

I am *constantly* pulling out my laptop and showing a client something.
Frequently I'm giving a screenshare demo via an online meeting. I work
people ranging from small business owners to attorneys to non-profit
directors. I represent a lot of computer users out here.


It's unacceptable for the OS to display NSFW content in this way, just open to 
chance. Here are some good examples of innocent uses which turn up NSFW 
results: 
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/10/ubuntu-wont-fix-nsfw-content-in-amazon-unity-results

It's inane for Canonical to decide to add this content and then say "we
don't have time to filter it, so we won't". (See above.)

I realize that I could figure out how to uninstall this "package". But
rather than do that, and wonder if it re-installs during updates, or if
there will be *more* unprofessional changes to the system, it would be
easier for me to switch to a more professional distribution.

It looks like in this particular bidding war between the customers and
the advertisers, the advertisers have won.

[Bug 1060979] Re: Make it less likely the user will stumble upon offensive results while using the shopping lens

2012-10-05 Thread Robb Shecter
John, can you please describe the nature and implementation of the fix?
And point to the source code? Unfortunately, the launchpad messages
don't hyperlink directly to the changes.
