Bug#726998: [debian-policy] debian-policy for privacy breach
Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.9.4.0
Severity: important
Hi,
I will be important to havbe a policy aboyut locally installed web page
fetching network ressource. This could lead to privacy breach+
For instance a like button fetch facebook and some local documentation fetch
ads sense script*.
However they exist some grey area that need more thinking. Donation button
with paypal for instance. It is unethical to remove donation offer from
upstream documentation BUT:
- we could not locally copy the paypal logo (violation of copyright).
- we could not allow fetching paypal logo (fail dissident test).
I plan to physically talk about this at debian paris miniconf 2014.
Bastien
+ I am coding a lintian check for this.
* This is a violation of term of service moreover.
