[Richard Stallman]

I saw this report.  I don't know if it is true, but if it is,
it is very important.

P. S. Quite recently on the trisquel users forum, one user created topic 
"You might be using a google name server":
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/you-might-be-using-google-name-server

First message from there:

grep 8.8.8.8 /etc/resolv.conf

If this command gives you output of: nameserver 8.8.8.8 that means 
everything you do online is sent to google. Apparently this is the 
default setting in Trisquel! Probably was inherited from Ubuntu.

I filed a bug here https://trisquel.info/en/issues/9782
