What's their revenue model? --orschiro (talk) 13:43, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

New contributions to this page

I have chosen this Wikipedia page for an assignment, and will be making contributions to the page. The page will see a lot of changes, as I will be replacing or modifying existing text on this page. I plan on adding a lot more information on the History section of the page, and possibly other sections if need be. In addition to that, I also plan on making at least two of the following sections: Controversies, Features, and Criticism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ayaan Asad Siddiqui (talk • contribs) 14:30, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Deepin Spyware?

That section may need to be completely reworked. It doesn't make sense. Also the link to Quora does not back up the claim that "This caused many of the users, and the Linux community to suspect that Deepin was providing backdoors for the Chinese government."

Indeed that whole section needs to be removed since it doesn't make any sense. CNZZ is just a Chinese website statistic counter tool (CNZZ literally means Chinese Webmaster Tools). When I go to the Ubuntu site, it sends requests to the Google Analytics site www.google-analytics.com, the same logic of this section here means there should be a Ubuntu Spyware section added to the Ubuntu wiki.
