You will find one of those new features in System
Settings, the hub for most graphical administrative tools in Ubuntu
and GNOME 3 desktops in general. The tool or application is called
Privacy. What it does is not new per se, but new in the manner it
executes them…I hope that I am wrong, but your new Ubuntu system could be used
to spy on you. I really have no problem with recording desktop
activity to make the system more user-friendly, but when such
recorded information could be sent to a remote host, then I start
to worry.
