Don't send data if a user wishes to opt out #16

Closed TheSamsai closed 6 years ago

TheSamsai commented 6 years ago

Sending an opt-out message to the server does not respect the user's wish to opt out of data collection since the only meaningful reason for sending that opt-out message is data collection. Please respect the user's wish not to participate in data collection.

This project is a library and a command line. The command line has the option for sending yes/decline/don't send anything.

Gnome-initial-setup is the GUI you interact with using ubuntu-report library which is sending the decline request on opt-out. Please file a bug on launchpad against this project: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-initial-setup.

I'm closing this bug as it's not a behavior encoded in ubuntu-report itself.
