Ubuntu is directed to the user to show ads?

Ubuntu has inserted a message at the MOTD terminal titled “How HBO’s Silicon Valley built ‘Not Hotdog’ with mobile TensorFlow, Keras & React Native.” It was directed to the user to show ads. But Dustin Kirkland, the product manager who designed the feature, denied that MOTD was designed to provide users with unexpected news, including important security notices, such as Shellshock or Heartbleed. He said the news came from an open source library, Canonical did not receive any remuneration from the show, saying that users can also submit their own messages to Ubuntu users. He provided a way to close the message display: modify the variables in /etc/default/motd-news, the default is ENABLED = 1, the value of 0 is ENABLED = 0 will be able to completely turn off the news function.
