[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#842939: xul-ext-wot: WOT find guilty to sell user data

[Andreas Tille]

Package: xul-ext-wot
Severity: important

Hi,

I'm setting this bug only to important even if it should be probably be
RC.  However, I have no technical proof for my claim just a German news
story who found evidence that WOT is selling large user data sets to
private companies.  If you understand German please have a look at

   http://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/netzwelt/Nackt-im-Netz-Millionen-Nutzer-ausgespaeht,nacktimnetz100.html

In case you agree that this is critical I think this addon should be
removed from Debian.  I'm also wondering about other addons like add
blockers whether these are doing the same since they probably also get
all user URLs in their hand.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
