Well, it's acombined issue: An ubuntu package shows content from motd.ubuntu.com. If we have control over what motd.ubuntu.com contains then we should fix that. If we don't have control over the quality of what motd.ubuntu.com contains then we shouldn't use it.
User's won't know where the information comes from, only that Ubuntu shows it. Therefore we should only show information from sources we can rely on to show useful information to users. Either the source should be fixed, or it shouldn't be used... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to base-files in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1701068 Title: motd.ubuntu.com currently shows media item (HBO's Silicon Valley using Ubuntu) Status in base-files package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: In Ubuntu 17.04 or newer, there is a script at /etc/update-motd.d/50 -motd-news that reads https://motd.ubuntu.com/ and displays that text with the rest of the MOTD. Currently, https://motd.ubuntu.com shows a news item about HBO's Silicon Valley which has a reference to Ubuntu.
