This generally sounds resonable, but I'm somewhat concerned about that part: > Apport would be configured to automatically send anonymous crash reports without user interruption. Crash reports could easily contain sensible and private data (e.g. file names/paths or usernames) and I wouldn't be comfortable sending them to an unknown group of people by default. Canonical would have to convince the user that anonymization is working really reliable for me to activate that feature. Right now I'm always drawn between fear of private data leaking and my will to support them in fixing annoying crashes (nemo crashes almost daily for me).

> private data (e.g. file names/paths or usernames) Can you give an example of a path, file or user name that would cause problems to you (or anyone else) if Ubuntu engineers see it when fixing bugs?

    How is an Ubuntu engineer seeing that some random computer somewhere has a gay porn folder a problem for you specifically?

      I never claimed it was. But you seem to be claiming that literally nobody would have a problem with being outed this way.

      Would you mind printing your output of "tree /" so we can take a look?

  PDFs from my bank start with my full name. Submitting a path to such file (or just a name of the file) would identify me automatically. I'm fine with Canonical knowing me as an "Ubuntu user", I'm not fine with Canonical knowing my full name and that I use Ubuntu.
