Reddit flagged this as inaccurate and the mod added this:

The issue was never with the poster’s self identification. The Ubuntu Community Council have been contacted and have been discussing the issue since Friday it happened.

The Ubuntu Community Council rarely comments publicly when complaints are dealt with, but the moderation team is welcome to do so.

Because I am on the Ubuntu Community Council and have been working on this issue, I am unable to comment further at this time.

PayPal is the easiest to get rid of in my view. I rarely use it for anything unless some website requires it.

Google literally opens all your email and scans the contents to build an ad profile on you. They scan all attachments too.

Valgrind to the rescue
