To add some perspective to the report, what the unity-scope-video-remote 
package does is getting a list of video sources on a server managed by 
Canonical:
http://videosearch.ubuntu.com/v0/sources
These video sources are then displayed in the filters of the Videos lens. 

When you activate one of these filters and search the video lens, it queries 
the server again:
http://videosearch.ubuntu.com/v0/search?q=robots&sources=TED+Talks

Currently, the simple way of disabling it is to remove the package, you
obviously won't have the online video search in the lens anymore, but it
shouldn't affect anything else.
