We're not using (obviously) Unity, hence the name of our system (Ubuntu
GNOME).

Linux supposed to be secure and has no such thing as spying :)

I am not really sure from where exactly that came from? seems to me a cheap
joke by Linux hater who are trying to shake the solid ground but that is my
personal opinion.

I'm not expert in Security but if you're too much worried about spying
stuff, you shouldn't use Facebook or any other Social Media Network. In
fact, there is nothing 100% secure over the Internet. I'm sure you're
following the news :)
