It is so disappointing to see @ubuntu reverting to #DarkPatterns and #Microsoft-style fear-mongering to increase sales.
The entire message is designed to make people believe that there are #security updates they're not getting without #UbuntuPro (which as far as I understand is not true). #DeceptiveDesign
