Ubuntu community manager Jono Bacon responded to RMS's Criticism on his blog, believing that RMS is spreading FUD to make people "fear, uncertainty, and doubt" Ubuntu ", RMS's point of view is naive to him. Bacon said that privacy is very important, but privacy is very private at the same time, and everyone's privacy expectations may be very different from others. A person who has different opinions on the privacy realization in the software does not prove another person's mistake.

RMS said that a major advantage of free software is that the community protects users from malware, but now Ubuntu GNU/Linux has become a counterexample. Malicious use of private software: malicious use of spyware codes to monitor users, DRM to restrict users, and backdoor remote control programs. RMS, for example, Windows, apple I series, and Amazon Kindle all contain three malicious features. The Macintosh and PS3 hosts use DRM, and most mobile phones have spyware code and backdoors. Free Software gives users the opportunity to stay away from malicious software. More importantly, with community protection, most free software users do not need to do it on their own. But now, Ubuntu, a widely used and influential GNU/Linux release, has installed spyware code. When a Ubuntu Desktop user searches for local files, Ubuntu will send the search characters back to a Canonical server. RMS says this is similar to the first time he heard Windows monitor users. One of his friends searched for files on Windows. As a result, Windows sent the search characters to the Microsoft server but was detected by the firewall. He recommends that anyone who has recommended or forwarded GNU/Linux to delete Ubuntu from the list of recommendation or forwarding lines.
